The Last.FM app has quickly become one of my goto apps for showing the Android capabilities off. I mean skymap is nice and such, but it's the little things that count. I was at a bar yesterday and one of my friends asked what it could do that the iPhone couldn't and I showed him the last.FM app with multitasking. Music playing, switched to bloo - when the track changed, the status bar rolls...
Search on the market for HUD. There are sever Heads Up Display apps out now for your car.
I've been using SpeedHUD. You turn it on and place your g1 on your dashboard. The reflection from the window to the dash projects your current speed, heading, and acceleration along with graphs for the latter two in a transparent format in front of your eyes. So far, I love every second of it....

I love the last.fm app, I enjoy making apple fans drool when I play music in the background and jump on the web and go right back to AIM. I'll try out tunewiki tonight.

Check out Babbler lite, it's free and there's a paid version. Pretty good for being free and I'm not sure if I'll switch to a paid version of either ...
Man, Widgets are like the best thing to ever happen to Android.
And I'm surprised no one's mentioned TuneWiki. I had no idea it worked with Last.Fm, and having a widget for it just makes it all that more awesome.
Real buttons for vital basic operation is key for me. Sometimes I just wanna answer and call and don't deal with the inevitable quirks of touch screen gimmick.

Don't think there has been anything released for any of the newer non-htc phones. Can't wait for a rom to come out for droid that has native multitouch. Any HTC phone is guaranteed to have at least one custom ROM for it at xda-developers; it's pretty good for brand loyalty (in an...
