    I like this one. Thinking about putting it on my new phone. I have a new Samsung Stratosphere 4G ($99 for the phone with $50 mail in rebate and company discount). Not bad.

    I like it for the most part, and I'd probably love it if it were faster. I did a search the other day for some other apps and one that looks interesting is "List!" It apparently has the ability to nest lists, which could be nifty. Though I'm so used to Todo List, I'll probably keep using it until I get a new phone (iPhone 5?).

      I have a basic phone with a web browser but no apps, so not really a smart phone. I might do it, make the leap into smart phone-dom. In the next few weeks, depending on my personal expenses, I will go phone shopping, and probably hardly ever use an app except to look up addresses/store hours/menus.

      If you are in no rush, you may want to wait for the iPhone 5, which may be out by October.

        Here and there. Often times I'll find an app useful in a certain situation, then never need it again, but it's nice to have the option available. Then there was an app I thought of, found out it didn't exist so I decided to start working on making it :-D (haven't gotten far, the internals are outside of my experience, so there's a lot of learning to do first)

        I know what you mean. I want to write an Android app, make billions, but I haven't read all of the Android articles on CP yet...must read faster. :)

          I don't, except the standard ones. However, today I used the bar scanner and was able to find something for less, somewhere else. -- cool. I know this technology has been around for a while but I'm simple minded and slow. Go easy with me. :)

                Not entirely. Until I have to file my taxes again next year. I will probably get a new phone specifically for that purpose (it's not required, but the alternative is worse).

                              That seems to be the dream of all software developers now :laugh: Luckily, there's a class offered on it here this fall. Though, the way things are going I'll be done with the class long before it starts, hooray for having the syllabus posted early!

                                Besides the ones installed, I use Todo List, Flashlight, (Unit) Converter and Games quite a bit, but I also find my Banking app, eBay and Home Depot useful every once in a while. Soren Madsen

                                  I use about 5, 6 different apps (other than the pre-installed ones) regularly, most of the free apps, I also have 2, 3 games that I paid for (I have advertisement in games).

                                  Watched code never compiles.

                                      More than I would like to admit. Bank, Credit Card, Investment tracking, bill tracking Slacker Radio, Gigbox to track shows, and SoundHound when I hear something cool I don't recognize Games from time to time, along with netflix. Barcode scanners, Skype, wifi-analyizer, Google products, maps and navigation, email, calendar, google music,

                                        No rush, but what will make it better than 4 aside from the incremented version number?

                                        they have their 'own' mapping now. Which is quite similar to google maps mind you. Go droid. You will be happier.

                                        Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
