Android apps. Must have stuff.
The Photoshop app seems rather limited to "PicSay Pro". Does all the Photoshop app does and more. Includes a feature allowing you to select and area of your photo to either "enlarge" or widen, or "thin" or make smaller. That can be fun, but a creative tool in palette as well.

I've the Droid X, and find "Easy Answer" bread&butter. Click the icon and when phone sleeps, no need to flip/slide ir wrestle with anything. Just the options "ANSWER" and "IGNORE". Handy as sin.

"Screen Filter" get a screen allows you to determine how much brightness, by percentage, you want "cut" when you tap the desktop icon. Brightness is huge battery drain and the app allows you to cut to only 25-30% for comfortable indoor viewing.

"Quick Settings", on one screen adjust volume for ring/media/notifications, turn Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/GPS receiver/and Mobile data ON or OFF. Same screen adjust ringer/vibration, and at very top a flashlight icon turns your camera's LED(s) on/off. Battery icon gives you percentage of life at a glance.

"Fast Reboot" allows you to select with applications to include in a shutdown, refreshing phone's system resources with one touch. When my phone gets 'loagy' or even briefly locks, Fast Reboot, opens phone-up so you can make that call, send a text with sluggish response.

"Camera Zoom FX". Adds a nice zoom using volume keys (or whatever you select), as well as a bunch of effect shooting modes. Along with the "candy" effects comes a handy B&W camera, a Polaroid effect, an "Art" effect that nicely renders a photo into a cross between water-colour and pencil drawing with great results. Select a grid/cross-hair, or circle for taking aim, select brightness, whites, and add sharpness on one screen. Option for night shooting and timer for self pics with lots more.

Lastly, "Spirit", game of manual and cognitive dexterity. Small ghost becomes surrounded by attackers that move in a fluid, remarkably unpredictable fashion. Using your finger to move the Spirit you swirl a circle to "capture" the attackers and move to next level. Different attackers have wide variety of assault techniques and the game play is never the same. Nice is the absence of a 'cartoonish' environment, and more a DOS look on a grid playing field. The almost heavy-viscous way everything moves is captivating, and stunningly difficult. Keeps me coming back as "Tower Raiders" does. Some of the best play anywhere.
