Doubletwist, its great, especially with Airsync.

Nothing from me, I just use the built in player with mp3/ogg (don't have any wma so never an issue here).

Overall I have been pretty impressed with what the Go developers have been doing and all of their apps are worth a look IMO - their Go Contacts app is a bloody good replacement for the standard dialler - check it out.

This is also good.......

These are changing daily (presumably for 10 days).

Todays selection (Read it Later Pro is probably the only worthwhile one for me).

For those on Twitter follow @Android for updates.

Touch Calendar has various size widgets (4x1, 4x2, 4x3 & 4x4) in the paid version - syncs with Google Calendar. Been using it for a while now and very impressed with it.

stevej · December 08, 2011, 12:09:29 am

Jorte is free and has every combination from 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 etc. up to 5x5 widget panels. Fairly customisable (anything from day, week, month, adgenda, to-do lists etc) and syncs with google too.

Bit ugly though; writing is ridiculously tiny by default

Jaspersharpe · December 08, 2011, 08:46:34 am

As Paul says the GO Calendar widget is very nice.

Hello Android people, cave man Golt looking for some help. I want to somehow get all my texts off my Wildfire and on to my PC in some sort of readable document. Is this possible?

Never done it myself, but one of these should do the trick.

Most seem to backup SMS's to gmail, but some seem to save to SD card, one looks like it saves as XML files which are readable, but you'll probably want to strip/format them in some manner afterwards.

butters · December 09, 2011, 11:55:59 am

SMS Backup+ could be what you are looking for - backs all your texts up to Google Mail - there is probably a way to just get it to back up to the SD card as well.

Weird, I replied to this earlier but it got lost...

I use Go SMS Pro from that list, it is a much better SMS manager than the standard Android one. Has a backup and restore (B&R under services) that will backup to XML. Just did a test and the XML imports nicely into Excel.

Obi-Wan is lost... · December 11, 2011, 07:34:33 pm

Endomondo pro on the app store for 10p for the next few hours.

Stubbs · December 11, 2011, 08:10:17 pm

Nice one Obi, they've just started reducing the features on the free version for the last few updates.

I'm also using Dolphin Browser HD.

I've started using this. It's really good.

slackline · December 13, 2011, 07:35:29 am

SoundHound is currently on offer till later today.

slackline · December 13, 2011, 05:22:36 pm

SlideIT and Shazaam Encore now on offer.

And for those on the go lots there is also FlightTrack (also at 10p).

Bubba · December 15, 2011, 07:00:52 pm

Last day of the 10p sale today.

Camera Zoom is a great standard camera replacement

Apparatus is a fine physics game

slackline · December 31, 2011, 01:58:25 pm

Don't know if anyone else has had this problem but I always found it slightly annoying that Gmail under Android only notified me of messages in my Inbox, of which I get very few as I've set up lots of nested labels and filters to siphon things off.

I discovered how to customise Gmail Notifications yesterday

Hope some of you find it useful (NB web-page will be slow loading!).

Found the iGeology app for iPhone/pad is great when hunting new venues. Gives a 1:50,000 geological map of the entire country, laid over OS. Interfaces with GPS and pop up text giving detail surface geology and overlying sediments.
Good for those dog/kid walks that might just turn up the forgotten quarry or boulder field.

Not sure what to eat? Theres an app for that....What the Fuck Should I Make for Dinner (also a web-site which inspired the related Where the Fuck Should I go for Drinks not found an app version of that yet).
