Help me from being so bored at work! Post your favorite apps!

[carcomp]

I just loaded Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 Beta 3 ROM (CE 5.2.1933 build 18533.0.7.0) from the forum. I followed the guide, updated the bootloader, the radio, etc. Its great, quite an update from the WM5 that ships with the hermes (8525). BUT, I want more. ;)

I then loaded SNES, with super mario world, and the genesis emulator with sonic the hedgehog, which is great, but the phone buttons are a bit lacking. still it keeps me occupied on my stupid 30 minute break at work that I would happily give up to go home 30 minutes earlier.

So heres the reason i'm posting...

What are your favorite apps? I've tried the flashlight app (cool), the new comm manager (cool), and the new office that comes in the rom. Its all impressive, but i'm hoping theres more stuff to play with out there. I whip out my phone constantly when i'm bored and play with the settings, and change the theme, and just in general see what I can get it to do.


Let me know what apps you like, and preferably put some links up. If you would do me a favor, try to keep discussion about how much you like or dislike someone's posted app. THANKS ALL, and thanks for keeping my brain from nullifying into goo when i'm bored.

My fav pasttime is the Bejeweled game (http://www.astraware.com/all/bejeweled2/?link=1/5/2), quite addicting (and I have an addictive personality, which helps, LOL! :) )
My clients like that along with Texas Holdem, Blackjack and Backgammon.
Of course the MobiTV and Cingular XM Radio's are also nice...

I've seen scores of Games and Apps posted by 100's of members all over the forum. Frankly, I never did like most of the games for some reason. I always wanted something that was action packed, easy to play in terms of controls, fast and snappy. All this and more I found in Tennis Addict by Hexacto / Jamdat. Believe me... it's a highly addictive game. You can't ever put the stylus back into the silo after this ;)

The only other game aside from this that I enjoyed playing was Atlantis Redux 1.4 by Tetraedge. It's a 3D adventure game like Myst.... but much, much, much better. This is really a fantastic game. Great story... very intriguing, very simple controls... you don't need a rocket science degree to navigate through it and it has out of this world graphics.

I've recently started playing Syberia, although I must say I fancy it a lot lesser than Atlatis Redux.

That's what I do on my PPC to keep from getting bored. Oh and ofcourse there is Age of Empired Gold Edition.

For me the favorite past time is Mike Miller's SuperDoku (http://people.msoe.edu/~millermj/superdoku.php). And trying to find interesting freeware on the net. Right now it is WkTask and QuickMenu 2.7.

HandySwitcher. I would die with out it.
Opera Mini (Java App.... hopefully you know what this is)
PIE+ (Add-on for PIE. Great add-on :)
Weather Panel (Today screen weather)

Games:
I'm a fan of Insaniquarium, SPB Minesweeper II, Titanic, and Kevtris.

Good on-the-crapper games :)

How have we got this far in the topic without mentioning
- Worms World Party (best loo game EVER)
- Tomb Raider (make mates jealous)
- Coreplayer 1.1 (encode some Family Guy episodes with PocketDivxEncoder and laugh through your break)
- TCPMP with FLV plugin and www.mobytube.net (trawl YouTube whenever you're bored or need to entertain the kids)
- SPB Arkaball 2 (great Arkanoid game)
- All Mobile Mines (great Minesweeper clone)
- Another World (found in the Xda-Dev FTP, was a big fan of Amiga version & this is a perfect copy)

Think that'll do for now!
