So, some of you may have heard that I got a Nexus One (no, really?). I'm quite pleased with it over all, but have been exploring the Marketplace and the whole concept of apps.
I thought perhaps we could do with a space to discuss and share and perhaps even post links.
I'm still new to the whole smart phone experience, but I have managed to find a few fun items in poking around.
The first isn't strictly for smart phones, but counts because it has an Android app:
Slacker internet radio. I commute to work via bus every day, and I'm loving the fact that I can now take my customized radio stations with me. When I get to work I turn off the internet radio on the phone and turn it on on my desktop. Bam! Seamless music for the whole workday. It doesn't get any better than that.
It's free for the Americans out there. Canadians can have a free 30 day trial, and pay around $50 per year for the Pro subscription, which gets you a bunch of nifty extras, like unlimited skips and mobile caching (so I can continue to listen on the subway, for example). Given that we can't get Pandora up here, this is a thoroughly decent substitute.
Another app I've been playing with is
Poynt. I actually first encountered this one via my mother's Blackberry, but it's one of the first things I grabbed when I got my own phone. It's simple and to the point -- local restaurants and movies in one convenient location.
Who else has recommendations?
