Life with a HTC Desire Part 1 Apps

Note: 3 of this post’s 12 links are now broken — mostly dead 2008–2013 feed-syndication infrastructure (FeedBurner, Gawker, AOL’s old blog network, Pheedo, Yahoo Pipes). Left as originally published.

On Tuesday of this week I upgraded my mobile phone to an Android handset. After a long drawn out process of reading reviews and getting peoples advice from Twitter etc I finally decided on an HTC Desire.

I am amazed with the phone and have hardly been able to drag myself away from the handset.

Thing I like the most is the seamless integration with my Google accounts for email, contacts and calendar syncing. I think it is going to make me much more organized.

I’ve been busy trying out application since I got the phone and here are is a list of the ones I’ve found useful so far.

Aldiko eBook reader

Aldiko is an ebook reading application that runs on any Android phone and which enables you to easily download and read thousands of books right on your smartphone.

Barcode scanner

Scan barcodes on CDs, books, and other products, then look up prices and reviews, or search for a word in a book and find where it occurs. You can also scan QR Codes containing URLs, contact info, calendar events, and more

BatteryTime

The only battery application that tells you how much time is left on your battery.

Jamendo Free Music Streaming

Easily browse through 20,000 albums by 9500 artists, thanks to an elegant and ergonomic interface. All of Jamendo’s main features, such as free download of all the tracks, playlist creation, access to album reviews and managing favorites, are of course integrated. Carry the best of jamendo in your pocket!

Last.fm

Your personal radio station on your phone: Choose an artist or genre and Last.fm builds the perfect playlist just for you, fresh every time, featuring your favorites and new discoveries powered by millions of Last.fm users sharing the music they love. You can skip any song and find out about concerts, too.

My Tracks

My Tracks is an application for your AndroidTM phone that enables you to record GPS tracks and view live statistics – such as time, speed, distance, and elevation – while hiking, biking, running or participating in other outdoor activities. Once recorded, you can share your tracks, upload them to Google Spreadsheets and visualize them on Google My Maps.

Photoshop.com Mobile

Perfect your pictures with the Photoshop.com Mobile App on your Android phone. Simply drag your finger to crop, adjust color, apply effects—you name it.

Twidroid

twidroid is the industry-standard twitter client for android, the only one I’ve found so far with list support.

I continued my experiments with homemade bread this weekend. Results shown below, looks better than week 2 but was a bit heavier texture.

This is the recipe I am playing with at the moment.
