Lazy Web: What are your favorite Android apps?

I am now the proud owner of a T-Mobile G1 running the Android operating system. I like it so far, though I wish the on-screen keyboard pas a bit more responsive. I have already installed a few applications, including Pacman, and a bar code / QR code scanner, but I’d like to take full advantage of this pocket-sized computer that sometimes pretends it’s a phone.

So I ask you: What are your favorite Android applications?

Please share:

  • The name of the application
  • What it does
  • Whether it’s free, paid, and/or open source

I’m looking for a great to-do list / task manager (GTD not necessary) in particular.

    I'd recommended Astrid Task To Do. ActionComplete if you want GTD.

    My favs currently:
    K9 Mail
    TwitterRide
    Texas Hold'em Poker
    Astro or Linda File Manager
    The Weather Channel
    Shazam
    Bar Code Scanner
    Spades

      Thanks for that. I'm have Bar Code Scanner installed. Ditto The Weather Channel. I'm going to look into some of these others.

    Hi,

    I second Astrid, although when I sync'd it with remember the milk, it erased a bunch of stuff.

    I also use TwitterRide (It's a little slow for me, but it does okay )
    3 Banana – Note taking
    Any Cut – for making shortcuts out of anything
    Where – Location service
    Sky Map – star map Got it for Kicks

    Not much of a game person for the phone, that's what my PS3 is for…
