Android phone, stuff I use all day: browser, email, texting

Stuff I use periodically: maps, navigation, camera, weather
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Electric sheep is an android app? That's wonderful.

Typo'd. It's Electric Sleep, but yes, punned off what you think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gris, as far as I can work out with Locale, I have to name the WiFi network, which is part of the hangup. The other part is that the positioning goes to crap with hotspot on (like, I'd be okay with turning off the hotspot when I got to work, but it never notices I'm at work if the hotspot was just on).
I made that list by scanning the apps on my phone. I think I use something in all of those categories except for movies and music at least once a week, about 1/3 of them daily.
Ooh, except finance. I think I'm waiting for Mint to come to the tablet first, honestly.

My response was based on what I have on the first page of my phone.
Some things like travel sites and traffic and crazy attempts to watch CW eps on my phone are useful but not daily things for me.

I know that we've talked about this before, but what's the PDF reader that everyone loves? Also, what's a good app for word processing? Open office?

Cass, you have an iPhone, right? So first page means what you use most? Going by my iPod Touch, there's no list of all the apps anywhere--it all has to be organised somehow on your home pages. Is that the same on the iPad? Huh. And my iPod only has two screens. I'm assuming iPhones have more, right?
You know what I wish had an app? Cook's Illustrated. Why I'm not satisfied with the website I'm not entirely sure. I just suspect--it'd be better with an app.
I spent a lot of time on the PC looking for the right recipe manager app, and never finding one I really liked. But these days, I'd be happy cooking and baking from CI and their affiliates if they just had tools like interfaces with shopping list apps and food calculators and the likes.

I use the CI iPhone app all the time. I wish it interfaced with shopping lists and nutrition databases, but it doesn't - I think it has a built-in shopping list functionality of some sort but I haven't used that. But for cooking from, it's very nice.

iPhone, yes.
So there are four app icons on the bottom of the screen that appear no matter what page I am on. For me that is Messages, Mail, Phone and Music. Mostly the Phone is there out of guilt.
And each screen holds sixteen apps. Though you can put fewer on each page.
My first page is totally filled with app icons, second has occasionally used apps (mostly in folders, which sort of technically makes it another sub genre altogether) and the third is native stuff I can't delete but don't really use.
I feel screen shots might be more explanatory than my poor attempts to explain.
