They’re the types of applications that make you ask, “Why didn’t I think of this myself?” Listed in this article are a handful of the best apps currently on the market, and some information about what they do.
Thinking Space. Thinking space is a mind mapping application. Basically with this application what you do is you connect thoughts and ideas. It’s a great program for formulating and creating new ideas and concepts. This program doesn’t cost anything; however the free version comes with advertisements. If you pay $4 you can have the ad-free version, which makes for a much more pleasant user experience.
Astro File Manager. This program makes your phone act just like a little PC. Like you do in Windows Explorer, you can search through files and folders on your PC and move different files here and there. It makes it much more easy to manipulate files on your Android device. You can even rename and copy files, send files as attachments, and even create archived or compressed files. In short you get a lot of productivity out of this app, and it’s very useful if you want to do more than just click on “apps” on your Android device.
Handcent SMS. Handcent gives your Android device really custom texting that is comparable to what the iPhone has to offer. It provides among other things iPhone style speech bubbles. Basically Handcent makes texting more customizable and enjoyable in Android. It’s free, so this program definitely won’t take a bite out of your wallet.
Toddler Lock. If you’ve got a little kid around the house who is always trying to pick up and walk away with your phone, then this may be your app. The best thing about this app is that it locks a kid out of your phone, but it provides graphics in the form of a rattle like toy that entertains. And because this app is also free, it’s just a download away.
Barcode Scanner. If you like to shop around, then this is the program for you. What you can do is read different barcodes or UPC codes from products on the shelf, and then reference pricing information online. If you’re the type that likes to do all of your market research before you buy, then you should definitely look at barcode scanner.
