Great Game... For adults.

This is a lot of fun. I highly suggest it.

Not a bad app

It's simple, but a little boring. It uses touch instead of phone motion, which is too bad.

Keep up with everyone

I went through several RSS reader apps before settling on NewsRob. Not only does it seamlessly sync with my Google Reader (folders and all!), it has the ability to open links within the application, so I can go to mobile sites and leave comments instead of always needing to open the full browser and skip about. It's a great option to have.

Retro Fun

This one really is just for fun. The interface is almost like an old-fashioned toy camera, and lets you play with special effects like scratch and vignette. It's more of a supplement to your stock camera app than, a replacement, but fun to have on board.

Fun with Fx

Oh, this one is fun! It's got a "normal" setting for you to use if you choose, but the whole point of this app is to really jazz up your photos. Turn your subject into a 4-part Warhol painting, or take a Polaroid with a vintage film look (sadly, it won't PRINT the Polaroid). You can play with color filters and photo sizes, but this one may not be for the serious photographer

Awesomely Pointless

It’s just an innocuous blue button on your homescreen, but hit it at the right time and you’ll be the life of the party. Inspired by the “sad trombone” Internet meme (at www.sadtrombone.com, of course), this app makes the pathetic “mwah mwah mwaaaaah” noise right when you need it. Someone tripped and fell? Got a wrong answer at trivia? Shot down by a cute guy at a bar? Sad Trombone is there to make you feel...well... even worse.

Go Bears!

Click along for a series of quotes from renowned NFL coach Mike Ditka, and instantly share them on Twitter, Facebook, and other social sites. You just have to imagine the clipped Chicago accent.

Ambitiously Good But Not Perfect

Google Translate will turn "I love you" into "Je t'aime" or "Te quiero" (or is it te amo?) or a number of other languages. There is voice input that is fun to try but doesn't always work, so I wouldn't count on it in an important situation. I need to explore more - it seems like if you write basic, simple sentences you will get a decent translation. Need to play with this to see how good translation is with more complicated sentences or phrases.

Get a Birds'-Eye View of Anywhere in the World

I just zoomed from the Jersey Shore to the Westside of LA to Santa Fe, New Mexico. And by the way, I flew over the Asbury Park Boardwalk, the ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier, and the art galleries on Canyon Road. Get a birds'-eye view of anywhere in the world, and even find businesses in the area by doing a search such as "coffee shops in Paris".

Wisdom From His Holiness Every Day

I popped open the Dalai Lama Quotes app and read: "Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." Yesterday's quote? "In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher." And tomorrow? "If you must be selfish, then be wise and not narrow-minded in your selfishness." Okay, I'm addicted. I mean, in an unattached way.

Customizable power management

If your phone doesn't have power toggles built in (like HTC Sense does), this widget gives you quick and easy ways to turn off your 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. You can customize the size of the widget as well as what services you want it to display.

Trumps the Wordpress app

Exactly what it says on the tin. As a Wordpress blogger, I might prefer this app to the official one - even though this one is only in beta. The UI is slicker and easier to navigate, and it's quicker to refresh.

Not my top pick, but functional and cute

The official Android app for Twitter is cute and it gets the job done. However, there's really nothing special about it that sets it apart from the million other Twitter apps I've tried. The notifications are kind of laggy, though.
