So I am curious to see what people favourite android applications are. (Win Mo too and Symbian to a much lesser extent, but its pointless starting 3 separate threads)

Edit: and http://www.cyrket.com/

MXit
Handy Taskman
Total Recall
Nimbuzz
Skype
Slick
mIRGGI
ShakeSMS
Opera Mini 4.2
MSDict - medical dictionary
Calcium
Python
Theme Scheduler
Nokia Audio Book Manager
LCG Jukebox
Mau Mau by LCG
LCG X-Plore
Garmin XT
Nokia Maps 3.0
Google Maps

you should also add iPhone apps to the list.

Shazam on Android, its basically SE's Track ID with a few extra features.
Layar on Android
Any of the lightsaber apps. nothing beats pretending you are Luke Skywalker

The lightsaber app got old very quickly

Lol. Except that assuming my friends have it installed, or a similar one, we'll be able to have cellphone battles in calculus.

Symbian:
Skyfire
Opera Mini
Opera Mobile 10 beta
Shazam ID
MumSMS+
Black and White
LCG X-Plore
LCG Jukebox
TTPod
Gmail
CorePlayer
JBak Taskman
LightSabre
Advanced Device Locks
QuickOffice full

You should definitely add iPhone / iPod touch apps to the list.

iPhone / iPod Touch:

-News24
-Dungeon Hunter
-Google Mobile App

Do you want me to compile a Global list in the first post?

Recommendations on a decent IM program for Android? I run gtalk and MSN and I also have a yahoo account.

Use either Meebo (it's an app)

or Ebuddy.

Meebo is superior however.

Used ebuddy on symbian and hated it. Will try meebo.thanks

Yeah eBuddy isn't really great.

Let me know how Meebo goes.

Meebo works really well.

Got opera mini working. It's in the apps store which is also working fine for any free apps.

Opera Mini isn't as useful as the main browser however (not to mention constantly having to push "menu"),
but if you're trying to save bandwidth - it's awesome.

another favourite:

-Twitdroid

Damn near the best Twitter app I've ever used.

Main Browser works fine but i'll need something light when i am not on wifi Apparently opera mini 5 should be better (4.2 is said to be horrendously buggy) I'll be curious to see how much is left of my data bundle at the end of the month

Been using Peep for twittering. but it doesn't seem to have an easy way to twitter @ people

yeah Twidroid is the best twitter app that I have found. just wish it would have a home screen widget like peep.

Yeah. While Peep's widget is awesome, the app is nowhere near as great as compared to Twitdroid.
