What are the best/most useful android applications? The ones you cant live without or are just easier to use than what came with the phone?

I ask because I bought a mytouch last night and while I am happy with the phone so far, I'm wondering how I can make it better?

Some of the applications I already downloaded

Handcent SMS (an Iphone like skin for text messanging)
XXX Tic Tac toe (porn hidden behind a game of tic tac toe)
Flashlight (not to be confused with a fleshlight, its just a bright screen)
Facebook

I've come to like a few apps, the Shopsavvy barcode scanner is one of those that I like. along with one called sherpa, which you can use to find places of interest, or somewhere to eat. handy in an unfamiliar town.

Trackmaster - for trackdays. It allows you to set up markers via Google Earth and provides you with laptimes, top and average speed, maps, graphs. It's a must have for a track addict.

eBuddy - combines online chat clients from Google Talk to Yahoo and Facebook

Expensify - enables you to take pictures of receipts and upload them to a website. For those with your own business - the IRS now allows you to maintain pictures of receipts under $75 rather than the paper copy. THIS is perfect for that.

Keeper - encrypted location for all passwords, and sensitive information.

Bump - to share information between people, simply bump your phone with their phone. Works between android and iPhone. Other party must have the app.

Calorie Counter - track calories consumed and burned. scan barcode of food item, it logs it for you. Can backup at www.fatsecret.com

Flight Stats - MUST HAVE for those that travel. Gives true arrival times, gates, flight information.

Advanced Task Killer - Lets you close down apps to save battery life.

Astro - File explorer so you can move/copy files on your phone.

Google Goggles - Uses your camera to take a picture of a bar code, then scan's it and searches for it in Google. Neat little tool.

ShottGunn - Because acting like you're shooting a shot gun is the coolest app ever.

Word Search - For when you're waiting and waiting and waiting on things.

Pandora - Gotta have music.

talk to fat burg... he's got one that when you type you just drag your finger to the letters (never letting up..) and it types what you want...

so say you wanted to type: Derf is gay you'd just place your finger on D, then drag over e, r,f and let up... then repeat for is and most importantly... GAY.. :lol:


seriously though... shit was crazy fast for texting once you got used to it.
