Google G1 Phone Applications

I am a total app junkie. From the useful apps like a flashlight to the silly games. What I am not thrilled with is the “Market”. The sorting options suck, they need to allow for more targeted searching so I thought I would start my own list of decent apps I have found and what they do.

1. Spiral Defense - I LOVE this game. It is a tower defense game thatyou can easilly play for hours on end. I think it was a buck or 2 and totally worth it.

2. Bubble - Useful app, I use it all the time. It is a level that is very accurate and really nice when you can only find a HUGE level.I used it to level a LCD TV and shelves in my sons room.

3. Scrambled Net - another fun game that is free so there is a bonus. The game is based on the “pipes” type games. It is pretty mindless and fun when waiting in a DR office or something. Has the ability to shut off the sounds.

4. HideNSeek - This is a useful utility for hiding your files on your G1, when you open it from the menu it pops a flashlight up and then you hit menu 3 times and are prompted for a password. The only down side I have seen from the app is you need to remember to CLOSE the program when you leave or then anyone can access the program.

5. Statusinator - Good Face Book app. Allows you to upload pictures right to your wall as well as see friends updated status and update yours as well. If you tap to a feature not supported it takes you right to facebook to see that thing. I use this app every day.

Ok so there is my top 5 G1 apps I will add more as I go through them. I will try and let you know which ones blow too.

Ok So it isn’t NEW but my Microsoft Wing ROCKS!

Alright so as I have talked about before I do technical phone support for a data recovery company. Any who the deal is I do that from home, more often then not. I have to have the ability to email people while on the go and still have the ability to sync up with Outlook on my desktop. I also was going to be buying this as my personal cell phone, so I wanted all the cool stuff you can get in something like an iPhone without having to own a Mac product. (I don’t want to hear it .. I am anti-mac and that is that) So here is the deal, I can have this Wing through T-Mobile and it allows me to be able to run ActiveSync, which honestly installed with out a problem. With other PDA’s I have had it was always a headache getting the darn thing working with the PC. It has a 2.0 mega pixel camera, MP3 player, Microsoft Office Mobile, as well as the ability to be logged into 3 different Instant Messaging client. I would have to say though the coolest thing about it is the ability to one switch from T-Mobile Internet service to and WiFi hotspot, and two the integration of the media on the phone with all the applications. I can take a picture, bring it in to my viewer, edit it, and then send it in a message. With all the iPhone hype I just thought I would give you all an alternative.
