Killer apps for Android?

[DaFace]

Since there's an iPhone version, I figured I'd start a Droid version. After being handcuffed by Sprint's SERO plan for the past two years, I finally ordered my LG Optimus S last night. It'll be here in about 24 hours. So, what toys should I play with when it arrives?

I can't stand it. I found myself correcting it more often than not to the point that I ended up just tapping out words anyway.

This is why I'm can't wait for a solid CM9 build.

I can't find a good review that shows how Samsung changed things, but they basically designed around ICS to keep their international Touchwiz layout. That's fine for the GSII, but a huge flaw for modern generation phones. And CM9 can't fix that as apps adapt to ICS. It's going to be awkward.

I have a Prime and I had to move from Dolphin to Chrome because Dolphin keeps dying on me. The latest version of Chrome seems to finally be stable.

Hmm...good to know. Maybe I'll give it another go to see if it's working better.

I do wish that Chrome (and lots of other apps) would adopt Dolphin's slide-out sidebar navigation. That thing's incredibly useful.

I know, I absolutely love the slide out bar, much better than the open a new tab each time you want to see your bookmarks...

I like CM9 because it removes everything about Touchwiz I dislike.

Adding a phone line, going to pick up the Evo LTE for the wife tonight tonight. She won't let me root it though.

I find that I just have to move my finger a little slower.

No its like Face said, you are either a Swype person or you are not. I can go like hell on Swype, crank out e-mails in half the time. Guy I'm doing some business with these days can't Swype to save his life; he's full on hunt-and-peck.

He's kind of a fat-finger guy though???

Anyone know of an app that removes the vocal tracks in Mp3's? I'm looking for a karaoke type app. A friend of mine mentioned something called "Back Track", yet I've looked and can't find anything under that name?

Anyone?

Anybody have the new EVO LTE?

[Shogun]

I do. LTE is fast as hell

Found a great remote utility for those that use Windows Media Center.

It's currently in Beta and you need to email the creator for a password.

I found it very stable and easy to use.

Got the LTEvo for my wife last week. She's stock, won't let me root it.
