JC - Technology and Stuff

I decided it was time to update my list of favorite T-Mobile G1 applications as I’ve now been using my G1 phone for a couple of months. My previous list is here.

People stop me now and again to ask what I like about my phone and what makes it different from other phones. I usually only have to show them two applications:

• ShopSavvy - scans barcodes using the G1 camera and looks them up on its internal database to give best prices and shopping availability
• Bubble - turns your phone into a three way bubble or spirit level. Simple, elegant, and very useful!

Of course apart from that the phone does all the usual phone, text and email stuff. One application that I seem to use all the time though is Twidroid - a Twitter application. This just works and keeps me updated with all the latest tweets from friends.

In my last post I said I used College Football Live. I have now replaced that application with a new one released by Google - Scoreboard. This application keeps you updated on a whole range of different sports scores and if you’re interested you can read some more about it here and here. The second article lists a few easter eggs!

Lastly I want to add one useful system application to the list. Power Manager shows you every status you want on a single screen and you can tweak the settings to suit you.

So, if you’re looking for something useful to load, I’ve given you a start…
