For now on, if you do a vote, please include a short summary (5-10 words or so) explaining what the app does. This was suggested by beababe in post #75.
Links for each application will be coming soon. It is recommended that you download Barcode Scanner from the Market, then navigate to these links on your computer to get to the apps. This work is being completed by daPorkChop, so be sure to thank him for what he's done as well!
Hey everyone. I want to do something for the forum and try to bring things together a little bit, so what I want to do is get YOUR votes for the best Apps for Android 2.1.
This isn't going to be just a conventional list. If you found something really unique, let us know. If you found something that's super-useful, tell us. Let's not just turn this into another 'Google Googles, Autokiller, etc' thread. Nothing against the named apps, and they can even be included, but let's make this something worth reading and something that contains apps that aren't already used by a hundred thousand people and have been around the block a few times (LOL!)
If the app requires root, please say so, because I will also be posting all of this on my website once I get some votes placed. Also note if the app is a paid or free one!
With that being said, let the replies begin!
I will update this OP with current app votes, etc. You'll see
EDIT: I have aplhabetized the apps as well as sorted them by the number of votes. Only apps with 2 or more votes are actually in the top 25 list, with the list of contenders below the bold Top 25 List.
