... at least, to my knowledge. This is obviously outside of smartphone necessities Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, Google Reader, and WhatsApp.
Swiftkey X
Standard smartphone auto-complete/word prediction software is just that—limited to words. This aftermarket keyboard grabs information from your Facebook, Twitter, and blog feeds, e-mail, as well as previously sent text messages to logically study how it is you "talk." In mathematical terms, type in X + Y and the program brilliantly predicts Z.
The result? Keying in "F" gives me "FUUUUUU! Just woke up!" in just a few taps.
Dolphin Browser HD
This is Android's top browser for a number of reasons. Quick, feature-loaded, and armed with a boatload of nifty little performance-boosting add-ons to choose from. Oh, it's also free.
AirDroid
My phone's hooked up to a charger upstairs, yet I'm still able to send/receive text messages, download images I took today, transfer content, and organize all my stuff through Chrome (or any web browser at that). No USB cable required. That's right, this shit is wireless.
TuneIn Radio
When NU107 permanently signed off late last 2010, it left an irreparable rift in local radio. Finding any half-decent source of new tuneage over the air was difficult. I was looking in the wrong place. The Internet is a wonderful thing, my friends. TuneIn Radio gives you access to over 60,000 stations across the planet, and the user interface is easy as it is intuitive. The search and browse functions are fantastic. Results indicate which part of the world the stations are based, and what's currently playing. Selecting one gives you song information, playlist history, AND album covers included in the stream. It even lists suggestions based on your listening preference.
And I thought I'd never be able to listen to 107.7 The End again.
Any.DO
For grocery and bucket lists alike, this app is really, really good.
