So this wonderful listener sends me this G1 he no longer uses which is hands down friggin awesome. Thanks JC. I popped my sim card in and I’m smart phoning away. This thing is great. So I see a lot of people posting their favorite apps and figured I would drop some of mine and also what did not work too well for me.

For starters, MythMote is friggin awesome. Not only to be able to control my mythbox from anywhere in the house; but to mess with the kids. Hearing them shout “Daddy! Something is wrong with the tv again!” Is priceless. Worth every penny of free I spent. Setup on the mythtv end was a snap. Thanks for the hints Pat!

Sipdroid, a softphone, connected without a problem to the Asterisk box allowing me to make calls both to the meetme room and out through Broadvoice. Setup again was pretty straight forward and the first call I made to the wife great.

I wanted a running/walking tracker so I pulled two down. GPS Walk/Run Tracker and Run GPS Trainer lite. I took the GPS Walk/Run Tracker for a spin today on a run. It showed an analog speedometer indicating whether you were walking, running or cheating and a number for how fast you were going. When finished it told me the stats but I don’t think they were accurate. For starters it told me I walked for 20 minutes when I know it was over 25. It also said I did 0.803 miles when I know for a fact a quarter of that was a .5 mile walk. So I question the accuracy. Next time I will try the Run GPS Trainer lite. I fired that up just to take a look and I really liked what I saw. It had a google map at the top and a lot of information on the screen for tracking.

Game-wise I have found Robo Defense and Dungeon Wonder very fun. I recommend trying out both.

Finally I will make mention of Phone Flix. Now I am not interested in watching movies from the phone but I am excited that I can manage my netflix queue whenever I want. This way I don’t have to worry about trying to remember this awesome movie I just have to see.

There are many more apps tickling my fancy but that is enough for now.
