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

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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?

... Your profile folder is kept in a separate place from the Firefox program so that if something ever goes wrong with Firefox your information will still be there. It also means you can uninstall Firefox without losing your settings and you don't have to reinstall Firefox to clear your information or troubleshoot a problem.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Has anybody used the wireless modems that the cell companies sell? Is the service any good? I'm trying to figure out the least expensive way to get the internet when I move into my basement apartment.

The local ISPs are running $30 to $50 a month and I was wondering if wireless was cheaper.
