Essential Android Apps

Other than not having Sense like Widgets that LP has, it's better everywhere else. Will be waiting for the LP rewrite before completely settling.

I tried it out and other than having a few more options and a better app tray they are pretty much the same, though the transition effects in LP are smoother.
 
On Gingerbread I find Go smoother. I don't have it on any Android 2.2 device so can't compare.
 
Aldiko - Ebook reader
Handcent SMS
WhatsApp - fantastic crossplatform instant messanger app
AdFree - Blocks adds in apps (requires root)
Angry Birds - Fun game
Dolphin HD - Vry nice fast browser
Fancy Widget - clock and weather widget with more options than the default desire one i had.
GPS Status - pretty self explanitory
Layar - Augmented reality app
Titanium Backup - essential for backing up on rooted phones
Quick Boot - Another root app this lets you reboot into bootloader or recovery quickly
Quadrant - benchmark your phone
Skype - handy for free calls to other skype users (especially if they are in another country)
Solitaire - gotta have Solitaire
Timeriffic - Lets you control volume and other aspects of your phone according to user defined schedules
Transdroid - Access your torrent client remotely
SlideIT keyboard - IMO totaly essential as the standard touch keyboards are horrible
Tubemate - youtube app that lets you view and even download youtube vids
 
Is this US only?

Don’t know, maybe they’re just starting with $ prices the way the Android Market started but I’m logged in with my account and it’s not ordering at the moment.

EDIT: It now appears that is is for the US only.

Gah! Beaten!

Just found this lol

I'm in the process of (trying to) download it

It's free today too... usually 99p (extortion! lol)

>edit<
Agreed, the whole Amazon app store is just US only at the moment...

As AB:Rio is free today, does anyone in the US wanna download it and host it for for the duration of the free offer? :) can't be breaking any distribution laws if it's a free download can we? :)

ARSE BADGERS.

The App Store has installed fine and configured etc.

Rio won't download as it's not available in my region yet :(

I imagine someone will up the apk though so I will keep an eye out for it.
 
Mine stopped at 1-click settings, strange. I won't bother trying to fix that then if it's not going to let me past the next stage.
 
Oooooop!

Was too busy playing lol. The game really is good, the new graphics are sweet and sounds :D
