Top 7 Android Apps

Dans le désordre:

Lookout
Lookout does just that, look out for your phone with an antivirus that scans a software before it installs on  your phone, doubled with a back of your gmail phone contacts, a locator that combines wifi gps and cell towers to give you the most exact location of your phone, and options to lock it up, sound an alarm etc. in case it gets stolen.  Best of all, it's free and available on the canadian android market!  Free.

MyPhoneExplorer http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
Syncs your Outlook and phone contacts, agenda and more, over WiFi or USB.  Free (Donate if you like, it's well deserved)

Appbrain and Fast Web InstallerGet both apps from the android market and then you'll be able to download apps straight from www.appbrain.com Useful to download apps not available for canadian android market, or for some phones like Motorola Charm that has some trouble displaying all the available apps on the market.  Free
Facebook
The official facebook app on the android market.  Free

Mint.com
Application to access your Mint.com account.  Mint is a website that helps you manage your finances, make a budget, set goals and save money.  Free

News Room
The best RSS news reader I've ever used.  Well worth the 5$ it costs!

Opera Mini
The Opera mini browser is blazing fast and also saves on your bandwith.


I just got my phone, I didn't even tried Angry Birds yet hehe.  But I think the most important, "must have" apps are the ones you really need to operate on your phone, and for the moment those are the ones I had to install in the first days with my first Android phone.
