A handful of third party apps have caught my attention so far:
- "zxing barcode reader" - uses the camera, links to searches (and books.google.com in particular) - that's what we barcode geeks have been talking about all these years...
- "toddler lock" - likely to make you smile, and useful for handing around the phone "just to fondle".
- "touch tip" - tip calculator that ends up with a smoother workflow than a normal calculator, by oversimplifying the numbers part.
- "automata" - simple conway's life - gets points for being the first app to have "shake to erase" :-)
- "Krystle II" - silly but tactile tribble app. "that... never would have occurred to me..."
No links to these because I can't find a real web interface to the android market store - just a pageable showcase... not, say, an RSS feed I could use to tell me when a PDF reader, IRC client, or Jabber client shows up (or an RSS reader :-) I suppose I could use adb to pull over the apk files and parse them for upstream locations...
