5. Dropbox
Native dropbox app. Self-Explanitory

Android app- Sugarsync
Just use it until Dropbox gets on their own app.

6. Cardstar
Uses your reward cards and brings them all together. Nifty.

Android app- Keyring
Autofocusing android cameras make ours much simpler. Easy to use and stable.

7. Skype
Self-explanitory

Android app- printout a search of "voip" on the market. Nail it to a wall, and throw a dart at it. Install that app and you've got integrated Voip.

8. Dragon Dictation
dicates text-to-speech

Android app- *crickets* We have the function of text-to-speech, but dictation? Google search yields nothing. Handscent uses speech recognition though.

9. Epicurious
Recipes, etc.

Android app- We've got recipe apps. I'll probably never use em, but we got em!

10. gCalwalllite

Displays calendar and time info on the wallpaper

Android app- Widgets.


The final two are Push notifications and tethering. We do that easily enough, push better and tethering worse simply because we have to root to do it.

If you guys think of anything I missed let me know.

Quick, concise, useful. Good info Wii60.

Actually there is a Skype beta app in the app-store now.

The PDA Net app allows USB and wireless tethering with out rooting your phone.

I would also put MyTracks + Twidroid integration up against any of their running/walking/hiking apps.

there used to be a text to speech notepad, i doubt its gone....

This is for #4....
Droid Text N' Walk

#8:
The Nexus fw supports speech-to-text.
have a look at the engadget review, there's a video of it.

Handcent already incorporates google speech recognition software for Speech-to-Text SMS so you can respond to a text while driving. What else would dictation be good for? From what I read, Dragon is a speech to text notepad that you then have to cut and paste into the app you're using. Pain in the ass compared to Handcent!
