Just got an Android (glee), now... what do cool kids put on those things?

Oh, I thought of another: Dood's Music Player is a decent way to get Grooveshark without paying for Grooveshark. I find it more reliable than the official Grooveshark app, too.

So, it looks like I am dumping AT&T and going to Sprint. Any thoughts on which Droid I should get? I kind of want to get a QWERTY keyboard, but I'm not hearing the most amazing things about the 4G Droids with the keyboard. Also considering the Win 7 phone...

I heard the EVO is pretty cool, dunno if that's true.

The stuff people already mentioned. Fun games are Game Dev Story (haha) and Legends of Yore (which unfortunately requires purchase if you get far enough). And Chesspresso if you like chess - it lets you play against others around the globe. Most of the rest of what's in my phone is already listed here.

Oh, and is there an easy way to run the game I am making in C++/OpenGL on that thing? (expert question from noob)

'fraid not... You'd have to rewrite it in Java. With the NDK, you can let parts of it remain in C++, but the amount of hassle is actually less if you just rewrite all of it.

Surprised no-one has mentioned zImperium's Anti program (Android Network Toolkit).

It's still in beta, officially passes itself off as a stress tester for networks and their security and is likely to be the reason why Android will be needing anti-virus' and firewalls.

Also the game known as 'Alchemy' is pretty sweet for a while.

I've been looking for Anti, it's taking quite a while for beta...

Alchemy is fun too.

There is a link to a pre-release key on their download page Xilisys.

Hope this helps!

I got Convo instead of Tapatalk, it's free and does the job. Not sure what Tapa might do in addition though, Convo is pretty basic.

I haven't heard of Convo before, the reviews on the market don't seem to speak very highly of it though. I can't think of any forum feature that I need to visit the site for which I can't do with Tapatalk. The only thing that's missing would be the buttons in the text editor for making links quickly. Typing bbcode on a phone can be frustrating.

[Alaris]

Well, I use my phone for very basic stuff only anyways. Convo is pretty basic, but it works for me.

Shawn, any input on the QWERTY Droids? I'm probably dropping AT&T really soon.
