01.Shazam
Shazam is one of the most useful apps a music fanatic can have for their phone. Just hold up your phone to the audio source, and Shazam will figure out what song is playing””for free. Many iPhone users have enjoyed this application for a while, and now a free (ad supported””not intrusive don’t worry) version has made its way to the Android OS.
You can also view songs you’ve tagged in the past with Shazam, along with all the information availible for that track. Overall, this must have for music enthusiasts, or anyone who’s ever wondered what song was playing on the radio.
02.PDANet Free Edition
If you have an Android phone, it’s likely that you have a data plan to go with it. This plan supposedly gives your phone unlimited access to the internet for a monthly fee. The PDANet Android application allows you to tether your Android phone’s internet to a Windows or Mac computer for free via Bluetooth or USB.
The catch is that the free version does not allow access to secure (https) websites. If you’d really like to access sites that use https, there is usually a “˜secure login’ setting you can disable on the service (Facebook or Gmail for instance)
Keep in mind that some service providers will charge you an extra $30 a month to tether your phone line, so using this application as a permanent desktop connection probably wouldn’t fly.
This program allows you to go through a list of songs already on your device, and cut out a clip to set as your recording.
After you finish this very intuitive process and save your ringtone, Ringdroid even asks you if you want to set that ringtone as your default, or as the ringtone for a specific contact everything is very intuitive and well thought out for convenience and ease of use.
In addition to the previously stated functions, Ringdroid also allows you to record your own audio for use. More importantly, a recording can be saved for use. Even more importantly, a recording can be saved as an alarm, music clip, or notification as well. This means that Ringdroid can be useful in basically everything audio on your Android device.
04.Key Ring Reward Cards
This app scans the barcodes from your card using your phone’s camera, and stores them in your phone so that you always have them. In fact, the image that Key Ring stores is far better than the one on the card in most cases because it re-generates the card on the device. If it sounds risky to you, give it a try and see what I mean.
05.Dolphin Browser
Dolphin Browser presents an excellent free solution to this problem by providing the user with not only multitouch capability, but also multiple tabs, a very social interface, and quite a bit more. There are even rumors of flash support to watch sites like YouTube directly in the browser! I could go on telling you about this application, or you could watch a short video about it instead.
06. Waze
Here is the last one. The Waze is a community-powered app that allows drivers and motorists to passively send GPS data and thus help other drivers with information regarding road conditions, traffic levels, speed traps, hazards and pretty much any similar problems faced while driving.
The driver’s driving speed is relayed to Waze servers and depending on the speed, the quality of traffic is judged. If the traffic is clogged, then that information could be given to other users. All automated and anonymous. The user only has to launch the Waze app and leave it open while driving.
