Android Apps – Top five must haves

 

Wouldn’t it be nice to get paid to download and review Android Apps and weed out the really cool ones?  Well, lucky for us, there are people out there that do just that!  And, if you are like me, you prefer recommendations to the cool ones, instead of repeatedly downloading/uninstalling,  downloading/uninstalling looking for something that you actually might find useful!

Here is a list of the top five (of the day, this changes constantly):

  • Dolphin
  • ChompSMS
  • FeedR
  • ConnectBot
  • Evernote
  •  

    I got this list from a technical email I subscribe to:  TR Dojo and it is referencing a blog by: Jack Wallen So far, the only one I have tried is the Dolphin browser!  And, I’ve got to say “S.W.E.E.T.”!

    If you are unsure which version to download, here is a guide:

    • What is the difference between Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Browser HD?

    Dolphin Browser is built on 1.6 android platform while Dolphin Browser HD is built on android 2.0 platform. So users with 2.0 above devices can try Dolphin Browser HD, which had powerful add-ons for you to choose.

    It is setup to allow for tabbed browsing.  It is great on my phone, but where it is really shining is on my Archos Tablet!  Nice!  As you are installing, it will prompt you to install a bookmarks add-on.  I recommend saying Yes.  Once installed, opening a new tab offers another add-on called Screen Cut, that allows you to do a screen cap. (see below)

    I also notice that as I open a new tab, it has an app of the day.  Today’s app is a free PDF Viewer.  How cool is that?

    Hope you all have a great day!
