Jason Hiner's 20 most useful Android smartphone apps

Am I the only tech that never has enough hours in the day to get it all done? Part of the job is staying current on what's out there which requires that I at least be aware of what's on top 10 & top 20 lists, etc.

Would it really cause a major decline in advertising revenue to have the list on a single page with 1 or 2 sentence clickable overview links for each item on the list? This way I get to be selective about what I spend my time reading more about.

How about showing a little love to your core audience?

I get bored after looking at number one when they have these items not on one page. So 2 through 10 never get seen. I wonder if they were any good.
Come on TR, many people have mentioned this.
All in one page please or at least 2 pages of 5.

Nice apps but since most of them are quite well known, it would have been better to list them all on one page and then link to each, if needed.

I apologize.
I wasn't meaning to say that you should always keep a Task Manager running on Android. Just have a good one installed on the device. One of the things that I think makes a good Task Manager app is the ability to kill itself. If it can't even do that, then I don't think it's much of a Task Manager.

To me, the entire purpose of a Task Manager app is to give a *MUCH* easier interface to kill unwanted apps from running instead of doing the entire procedure of Menu => Settings => Applications => Manage Applications => Wait for app sizes to get calculated and/or the interface becomes responsive again => Filter for Running Apps => Find and 'Force stop' unwanted apps. For both truly unwanted apps, as well as those apps that don't have a real 'Exit' for the program (what we used to refer to as "TSR programs") like many of the web browsers in Android seem to be, a good Task Manager app seems to be an excellent idea to have on Android, or *any* GUI-based system for that matter. Not to have it running all the time, but to have it available when you need it.

And, in the spirit of the original post, I like Task Manager from Rhythm Software. You can set Auto-kill lists (into which you can put Task Manager itself), and you can set it to not start on Power On. I prefer to have it start on Power On and have it kill the slew of unwanted apps, leave me the notification that it did, and then kill itself/exit.

I'm a distributor of Android tablets. I test them first before i sell them. I used Stability test, Smartbench 2012, Multi-touch and Antutu benchmark. For internet speed, the Speed test works fine. They are all free from the Market.

Hit the right arrow to go right, and the left arrow to go left. Crazy chiz, I know, but I think that's how it works.
