My inventory of Android apps

12/6/10: So thanks to the "Related" tab in the Android Market, I've been checking out different apps again lately to replace some of the current ones that I've been using. I LOVE this feature!!! Why did it take so long for them to come up with this?? Anyway, my app list now looks like this...

8/8/10: Here's what I have in my phone so far:




  • 1Pod KO-EN Dict. - Korean to English dictionary. Yes, I'm trying to learn Korean
  • 1Pod PM - Project Management dictionary. Downloaded but never used
  • 1Pod TOPIK - Korean vocab list for some sort of exam...
  • Adobe Flash Player 10.1
  • Adobe Reader
  • Advanced Task Killer Free - read somewhere that these task killers will actually make the phone consume more battery since the apps will keep trying to restart, but I'm not ready to uninstall this just yet
  • Aldiko - ebook reader
  • Amazon
  • AppBrain App Market
  • Astrid Tasks - Task List app Replaced with Task List
  • ASTRO - file manager app Replaced with AndroZip
  • Barcode Scanner - useful when you see an app review with a QR code and want to install the app
