Android Must Haves?

akprodr · 09.18.2010, 10:02 AM

So, just got an Android phone. Anybody got any must have apps?

And is it just me or did Steve Jobs pervert the meaning of 'app'? Used to be, an 'app' did something. Now it seems that a lot of 'app's are really 'content' and don't, of themselves, do anything. True or False?

My friend has one, they're pretty nice.

The coolest application he has that I can think of is this one where he can scan the barcode of any product (just take a picture of it) and it searches the 'net for a torrent of said product, then he can have his PC start downloading the torrent immediately, so that it's fully downloaded when he gets home.

I always thought that was pretty neat, not sure what it's called though.
