I need an app to view images that are in folders since the gallery takes quite a while to show all the images?

Quickpic is what you want!

You get that with any third party keyboard or TTS app.

I see, so not a big deal then?

Does anyone know the best Notepad app, that can be drawn on and that will scroll, allowing you to take almost unlimited notes?

This one is pretty interesting. It gives 100 volume stages:

About time.

This has only just come up in the last week. Only last weekend I was looking for a Natwest app.

Hi guys,

Im looking for two specific apps, one for both the mobile and the tablet and the other for just the tablet.

An app that would allow me to RDC onto a PC. Only for occasionally helping out the folks remotely if I am not near my laptop.

An app to be able to request the devices location and for it to send a reply back as an email. Or are there better ways of doing this?

Both free and on the market if possible?

What phone do you have?

2 free RDC apps I use are 2K Client and Remote RDP. Both work just fine and both are scalable so if you have a tablet with a high res screen or phone even, then all the better.

Where's My Droid can text or email back GPS location but if you have a Samsung Phone it has a web interface that works flawlessly.

Speaktoit Assistant looks pretty good. Similar to Siri.

I dislike games that require you to sit through almost endless tutorials!

This looks fun:

Ta for the RDC apps.

My phone is a HD2, in otherwords its a cooked ROM.

Remote RDP doesn't appear to connect to my Windows 7 machine, complains about requiring something.
