Pretty much a pointless app.     

So instead of clicking on lincs on message boards and surfing for Eagles news on the internet I can get it all on one app and get notified when news breaks.  For free.
Maybe I'll just delete it.

This is getting too gay. Even for me. My butt is getting sweaty. Or WH-et.

:-D

Just got the Droid X. Pretty amazing. Anyway, here are some of my faves. All are free:

Audiogalaxy-- it's awesome. Basically, it streams any non DRM mp3 from your home computer to your phone. Super high quality, and no lag at all. Now I have no reason to keep all of my mp3s on my phone. Super cool.

Barcode, Google Googles, Shopper-- all three search based on barcodes, etc. Very cool. Scan a barcode and get the best prices online, or at a location close to where you are. Google Googles also does searches based on a picture. So, for instance, it would know that the Chili's chili is from Chilis and does a search based on the image. Neat.

Dolphin HD-- Nice browser...more robust than the standard one.

JEFIT and DroidFit-- they work together. Good workout apps.

Where-- pretty robust. local movie, restaurant, entertainment with reviews, etc.

Shazaam-- Searches based on songs. If you use it with a song on the radio, it tells you what it is and where you can get it.

RockPlayer-- Great general media player (audio and video)

SportyPal-- Tracks your workouts via GPS. Select whether you're walking, running, biking, etc...it gives you a bunch of info, like average speed, distance and calories burned.

TuneIn radio-- super easy radio from literally anywhere. Great app.

TV.com-- watch full episodes of a lot of CBS shows.

Ringdroid-- easy way to clip and create custom ringtones from your mp3s.

Fios stuff-- Only great if you have fios, obviously...but I have a remote DVR app, and have it set so that I can use my phone as a remote on my TVs at home.

Vignett-- Camera app

PicSay-- Photo app

gmote--  Awesome. Basically, it lets me control my computer from my phone via wifi. I use an old laptop in my basement hooked up to a big TV to stream netflix...not I can just sit back and control the computer, including the keyboard, from my chair. Also uses the phone screen as a touchpad mouse. Too cool


As an aside, Motorola.com has a 60% off code floating around out there. I picked up an extended battery and a dedicated battery charger for $30, including tax and shipping. Great deal if you need an official Motorola thing. The code is: GIFT4U60.
