Essential Android Apps

[Oxide™]

so there is no point in it, as it takes 1 click the sync button, and also just takes 1 click to open the market.

No, if you had taken the effort to comprehend my post

you press the sync button on the widget and it goes off and sees if there's updates to your apps, if there is then it loads the updates appbrain page, if there isn't then it just gives a message saying no updates at this time.

Saves the hassle of opening up the market just to see if there's updates

It would have been clear that the sync widget either takes you directly to the updates page if it finds any updates or keeps you on your homescreen with a message that appears telling you there's no updates

It is not the same as the market button which, just to know if you have any updates, requires a click to open the market, another click to open my apps to see any available updates, then a 3rd click to exit back to homescreen - unless I'm doing it wrong, then please feel free to enlighten me with an actual useful reply

RE flash 10.2, never really tested it before 10.2 but my Desire will play 720p videos flawlessly on youtube, better than my laptop =/

@Oxide, aye, when i click on the market link i have, the market loads up and i get a notification if there any updates to any of my apps, so yeah just the one click.

I've noticed that in the market, apps can be set to auto update. Though of course you might not want this, as I like to check the changelog first.


Back on topic:

Is there a conversion app? I have XE for currency, but on my nokia the converter their did everything, weights, pressure, distance, currency. I'm looking for something similar but that will also pull in the latest currency feed.

ConvertPad should do exactly what you want

how did you even select 720p via the browser...? the resolution popup never stays up for me to select it.

Anyone know of a good (preferably free) youtube video downloader for Android, I was using something called freedi. It appears this has stopped and that Google have pulled these download apps from the market place? I am willing to install from alternative sources if an app exists.

Cheers,
