Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Liese,

Rob is right about dropbox, but I also use Cloud - [link]

Cloud has a size limit, so you can't send big video, but music files, etc. are fine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

So I got me that Samsung Intercept android phone via Virgin. So far so good! What are some indispensable android apps?

So far, I've got Dropbox, Lookout (anti-virus -- is it really necessary?), Opera Mini, QuickMark (barcode scanner), Retro Camera (is there a better Hipstamatic-styled app for the 'droid?), and TuneSync (the only one I've paid for, it lets you sync to your iTunes... wirelessly!).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is Opera Mini free? The Dolphin browser is pretty good.

Courtesy of other Buffistas and random surfing I have and use:

  • Dolphin Browser
  • 3Banana (notes)
  • Advanced Task Killer
  • Aldiko (rendered less useful now that I have a Nook, and if I had Android > 1.5, I'd just use the Nook app)
  • Apex uninstaller
  • Astro (file manager--key)
  • Flashlight
  • Gmail
  • Keeper (password manager)
  • Pandora
  • OneTouch Timer Free
  • StarContact

Opera is free. I will check out those others!

Dammit! Last time I'd checked, Opera Mini wasn't. Off to get it now.

Dolphin browser

Please tell me it's an annotated database of dolphin species.

t edit Through which you can browse, of course.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If I uninstall and reinstall Firefox, will it remember my bookmarks and settings? Or do I have to do something to back it up?
