For those of you using smart phones or tablets, what's your favourite apps and why?
I find I use "spacejunk" quite a lot. Point the phone anywhere and it shows you what stars , planets and satellites are in that area.
Also use Planefinder. Again it's quite an amusing little app used just for fun.
Also have a Piano app and a Drum app, but these are for the baby to slap the iPad and make a noise, keeps her quiet for 20 seconds ;D

^^^^^Re Planefinder.... No I haven't found MH370. :)

The built in email and browser apps. Oh, and the phone app :P

Ah, yes, good point, I do use Remote Potato an awful lot to set and stream recordings when I'm out and about, and to access my music and photo selection.

There's a few available. They are my personal favourite. Anything wifi capable should be able to be accessed by the other devices. And from anywhere.
The perfect multi functional remote control.

Remote Potato is specific to Media Center, so no good to you. I guess the Sky Plus one is specific to Sky, so no good to me. Same result, depending on what its controlling, if that makes sense (except MCE is far more capable than a Sky box :P)?

None. I must be the only OOFer without a single App. Plus I have never used one.
remote potato. Who thinks up the names!!! ;D ;D ;D

That's what I said. Couldn't give a shit about the bit in brackets. No interest to me, as I'm not a Bill Gates fan boy.

Ah Mr E. I fear your hands are dirty what with picking up the wrong end of the stick.
Apps have nothing to do with "having a conversation " ,
I still know how to press buttons and talk.

For me it's the following:
3CX Droid Desktop - essentially a VNC server that can be accessed from any device on the same network
BMWhat - diagnostics software for most Beemers that allows reading of all ECU's in the car and resetting fault codes.
ConvertPad - Multiple formula conversion calculator
DTV India - Satellite TV for free
Electrodroid - Electrical/electronic calculator and pin-out diagrams
Fast File Transfer - Turns the phone in to a web server so data can be easily swapped with friends stupid enough to own a gayphone/gaypad
Hush SMS - An ethical hacking tool
PowerAmp - A "plays anything" audio player with some very nice features
RAR - Android version of WinRAR (compression/decompression utility)
SuperBackUp - An all in one utility that backs up SMS/MMS, Contacts, Call Logs, Calendars, Bookmarks, and all user installed apps making upgrading a handset a doddle
Text Bomber - Someone upset you?....buy a PAYG sim with free texts and spam the crap out of them
Torque - General OBDII diags tool for reading live engine data
Wi-Fi Inspect - Network sniffing utility
Wi-Fi Kill - Deny internet access to any device on the same network, useful in a pub on a Friday night when the bandwidth is pitiful with everyone connected at once
XBlast Tools - A utility that lets you modify your handset "on the fly" in pretty much any way you can think of, no more need to mess about with custom ROM's.
Simply mod your stock ROM how you want it and reboot. If you don't like what you have done, undo the mod, reboot, and you're back to a stock ROM again.
