I gave him a fairly hefty list and he is building them all in now, he has already delivered some of the changes too. Among other awesomeness, it pre-buffers the next track so if you pass through an area of weak signal the music won't stop for the remainder of the current track and the whole of the next and scrobbling to Last FM is coming soon.

Curious, what data plan do you have? This must seriously eat away at it? I downloaded couple youtube vids on my birthday bash in the hotel room and it killed my data, I used 500mb this month


EQualiser - Graphic equaliser that takes over your audio from any player, including web-players like Dood's or youtube. Sometimes a nigga just needs more bass, yo. Requires android 2.3.

I will try this!

Tesco - Shop online. Fuck, yeah.

UStream - Broadcast live high quality video steamed to the internet. Takes about 20 seconds to set up. Tech. is cool.

SMS Reader - Reads me my texts and announces the name of any caller. Leave your phone in your pocket while you walk along listening to music.


3 Awesome Productivity Tools:

Evernote - Clip notes that are instantly available on all your devices. Allows pdf, audio notes and photos. Smart organisation and rich text options. You can even search text within photos. Great UI. Web-clippers are available for all internet browsers, an Outlook clipper and a downloadable version for your desktop too. It has increased my productivity, business and personal, and is even more helpful when used in conjunction with ...

I use Evernote, but only for writing short notes, I don't use half of the features available.. Maybe I should.. I like to use OneNote at work and home for note taking

Astrid Tasks - Awesome dedicated task manager. I share my Evernotes with Astrid and also sync. it with my Google and Outlook calendars. Thus bringing all my tasks and calendar items into one place.

Locale - Enables you to change the settings on your phone by location. E.g. my phone automatically goes into silent when I get to work and back when I leave. That is pretty awesome on its own, I know that isn't my phone ringing in a meeting. What is really cool about this app. is the number if other apps that have created a Locale add-on. Not least Astrid Tasks. So I can now receive location aware reminders for my Evernotes, tasks and all calendar items. E.g. I need a screwdriver from Maplins, my phone alerts me the next time I am nearby.

Curious, does this drain the battery much with the use of location services? By the way, I tried using only Wifi to detect my location, and it literally found where I was within about 20 feet. Pretty awesome I think to say it only used my home internet and 3g signal (I think)

(Locale cost about £5; which you may be able to charge back to your employer, if their nice like mine. Evernote and Astrid are both free.)


Games

Stupid Zombies - Similar to Angry Birds but not for gays. You get to play the character of Ash from Evil Dead too, unofficially, of course, but it is so obviously supposed to be him.

Will try this now..

Marvin - ZX Spectrum emulator, tons of free ROMs available. My first computer was the 48k +.

Worms - I fucking love Worms, it is one of my favourite games ever. Solid android version. Costs about £1.

Zombie Booth - Take a pic. of someone and it zombifies them and animates their zombified corpse quite spectacularly. I love zombies. They are my favourite undead.


Peace,
