Droid Update

My original post about the Droid was 2009-11-06. Three months into Droid and time for an update. The good news is that ones life can be divided into BD and AD, before Droid and after Droid. But not without some complaints of course. The camera is really slow, which means you are going to miss some opportunities. It is really easy to accidentally activate functions unintentionally.

These are the apps I use in order of most frequent:

  • Phone and contact lookup with integration to maps
  • Maps, especially with the traffic layer turned on
  • Music – listen to books on mp3
  • Gmail
  • Calendar to look up appointments, etc.
  • Sportstap – keep track of you teams
  • TED – view outstanding 18 minute videos from the TED conferences
  • CardioTrainer – uses GPS to track walking workouts.
  • Radar Now – show weather radar arond your GPS location
  • Trapster – avoid speed traps and photo enforcement cameras
  • WaveSecure – to locate Droid if misplaced, and erase everything if stolen
  • Wifi Analyzer – check on your wifi signal
  • Droidlight – use camera flash as a light
  • Google Goggles – scan business card to add to contacts
  • PageOnce – track financial accounts
