Markets
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* AndAppStore.com
|
|
* [AppBrain](http://www.appbrain.com/user/mbirth/apps-on-the-nexus-one)
|
|
* SlideME SAM
|
|
* Market (built-in)
|
|
|
|
As Android allows you to get Apps from different sources, there are also some alternative Market applications.
|
|
*AppBrain* even analyzes your installed apps and recommends other apps which might fit your user profile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Text Input
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
* stock Android keyboard (built-in)
|
|
* AnySoftKeyboard
|
|
* [HTC_IME](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416)
|
|
|
|
The internal keyboard of Android 2.1 is great already. It does its job and supports the voice recognition.
|
|
*AnySoftKeyboard* looks promising but in real world use, I found it a bit awkward - esp. switching to numeric keyboard and back.
|
|
Also it occupies more screen space. My favorite for now is the *HTC_IME*, a copy of the HTC Sense keyboard. It has various settings,
|
|
supports all features of the internal keyboard (and lots more!!) and the compact mode is good for people with manly fingers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
eMail
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
* stock E-Mail app (built-in)
|
|
* Google Mail (built-in)
|
|
* K9 Mail
|
|
|
|
I had K9 in use for a while until I realized I don't need to move mails around to other folders on-the-go and don't use the
|
|
few special features of K9. I like the combined Inbox feature of the stock E-Mail app more and also the fact that it shows
|
|
mails from my company's Exchange server. The *Google Mail* app makes nice use of GMail's special features and complements the stock E-Mail app.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Messenger
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
* Jabbroid
|
|
* Google Talk (built-in)
|
|
|
|
As I have my own [OpenFire Server](http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/) at home which provides Jabber-Transports
|
|
to all my networks (e.g. AIM, MSN, ICQ, Facebook), I needed a sleek Jabber/XMPP client for Android. *Jabbroid* seems to fit.
|
|
It hangs sometimes a few seconds, but in overall, it looks good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Podcasts
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
* Google Listen (Labs)
|
|
* dPod
|
|
* also tested: *MyPod*, *BeyondPod*
|
|
|
|
*MyPod* also seemed to be fine, but the interface was a mess with all those colorful buttons. *dPod* seems fine for Video podcasts. *Google Listen* is nice for Audio podcasts.
