All,
A few people on here must have an Driod phone can't all be ifunkers. So I wanted a thread to share any apps free or paid for that might be worth looking into.
I have just got the Desire and so far have d/l
Layar - the augmented reality thing, so far pretty good although not used it outside just from the office chair has a find a pub layar which is cool.
BeebPlayer - to stream iplayer, not tried it yet will report how good it is
Google Googles - thats pretty cool, take a photo and use it to search the world
London Underground - Useful shows up to date tube status and has a map if you don't know london that well.
WSOP - Cost $2.99 seems like a decent poker game so far only played one game not much lag and simple to use.

cheers for this. I cant bring myself to get an iphone so I am planning on going droid on my next handset.

I've got the Hero and theres a couple of great free apps
Where's my droid - Ever forgotten where you put your phone and cant ring it coz it's on silent? This lets you txt a password of your choosing to the phone which switches it to normal mode and makes it ring out till you find it. Surprisingly handy i've found
.
Ringdroid - Allows you to create ringtones and message alerts from your mp3s on the phone
imusic and or musiczilla - allow to search and dwonload songs direct to the phone, it's all free so i'm guessing they won't be around long

Thanks Bryan, which music app is better might have a go with one of them.

weve only got the free version mind which limit search results but i prefer imusic, my nephew, on the other hand, whos younger and probably knows better swears by musiczilla.
Forgot to mention Google Sky above, its pretty useless but cool none the less

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

i really like it... it's a nice sleek classy phone. the touch screen is great, as is the camera which takes
photo's in a slightly wider format (5:3) than my N95.
i've only downloaded a few apps so far (all freebies), but will probably consider paying for Co Pilot 8
when i get paid next month. incidently, the GPS lock on is ****ing fast!! even indoors.

TomTom at the time was a bit behind in street level accuracy and that led to me to the CoPilot, which was exceptionally up to date with Glasgow street mapping at the time.
I lasted about 2 months. I had paid Ł99 for it at the time and switched to TomTom at the first chance I got (v5 TT iirc)
Maps on the CP set to 3D looked like someone had taken a paper map and held it at an angle.
Turn indications were painfully slow and on many occasions I was a good 100 yards beyond the turning before it indicated it on screen (remembering I was in unfamiliar areas at the time)
Never had the issue with TomTom.
To each their own, but if it has the trial of CoPilot on it I'd give that a go first, my old XDA Zest had the CP trial on it (think it's 6 or 7 though) and even just looking at it it reminded me of those almost-2D maps.
