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 own a Nexus and this thread could help.

For starters, GTasks. Will synch your tasks with your Gmail account.
TimeMobile. RadioTime, make sure you are on wifi or have good data plan.

I had to change to SERO Premium for the Android phone. Still only paying $40, though.

Yes. ATK will save you some serious battery.

Hungry Shark is a good game, as is Spaghetti and Marshmallows

That article would require way too much of my time to read. I use ATK to shut down apps I don't want running and my battery lasts much longer than before I used ATK. That's all I need to know.

I'm completely fascinated with Sky Maps. My dad's a huge astronomy buff, and I can't wait to show him that thing. Very cool.

Very belated props for TuneIn Radio. It was nice to be able to listen to postgame on the way to Wichita after the game without having to channel surf the whole way there. I just wish the damn NFL didn't have so many goofy contractual agreements that prevent TuneIn from streaming games.

I wasn't able to find the Philly/Green Bay game on the way and ended up just channel surfing for it on the AM.

My wife ended up obsessed with that game after playing it for about 30 seconds in the store.
