What would be your sug­gested apps for a Motorola Droid? I’m look­ing for gen­eral use, pro­duc­tiv­ity in life, and web design/development in spe­cific if pos­si­ble. Let me know of your sug­ges­tions! I appre­ci­ate the help.

    Hey Michael. I’m work­ing on an Android app called Abugadro. (Info at http://abugadro.k3rnel.net )

    The app will let you access Google Codes, Launch­pad and Bugzilla (Among other pop­u­lar bug­track­ing interfaces)

    Its cur­rently *almost* ready for an alpha ver­sion, and it will only include read-only sup­port on Google Code, but I intend to work on Bugzilla read-only right after Google­Code is done.

    I thought I’d give you a heads up, I’d gladly take a cou­ple of testers once i’m sat­is­fied with an ‘alpha’ ver­sion of the app.

    Thanks.

    Hmm, while I do appre­ci­ate the sug­ges­tion and com­ment, I can’t really claim to be that i depth of a devel­oper for soft­ware that this would use. Hope­fully some­one else may be able to use it more though.

    Thanks nonethe­less :)

    Well, I figued that since you are a Fedora user (Or at least one that’s post­ing on Planet Fedora, heh), that you *might* use Bugzilla, and since vis­it­ing Bugzilla from the phone is such a gigan­tic pain in the ass. I thought I might make that pain go away ;)

    Here’s the list of Apps I use on my phone:
    ACV (Comic Book Reader), Aldiko (eBook reader), APN­droid (Dis­ables Data Access), Astrid (TODO List Man­ager), ASTRO, (File Browser, phone should include one)
    con­nect­bot (SSH/Telnet made friendly), ebuddy (MSN/Yahoo/Other net­works), exflash­light (Try it!) face­book, ftpserver (Turns phone into an FTP Server, amazing)

    Google Gog­gles, Sky Map, Trans­late
    net­counter (Counts Data Usage)
    tita­nium backup (Makes Back­ups easy)
    twit­ter
    voice recorder
    wordpress

    Enjoy!

    Con­nect­Bot is a must if you have any SSH needs.… I use this all the time, but as far as pro­duc­tiv­ity goes I can’t say I’m highly pro­duc­tive on my phone other than read­ing emails.

    I also rec­om­mend that if you have any inter­est in root­ing your device that you run Cyanogen­Mod (I put together a guide here: http://pseudogen.blogspot.com/2010/06/getting-cyanogenmod-on-your-motorola.html). And pur­chase the paid ver­sion of ROM Man­ager from the mar­ket once you’re on Cyanogen­Mod because the money goes to one of the main devel­op­ers of the Motorola Droid port of the Cyanogen­Mod ROM

    Happy Droid’ing :)

      Not sure how much I want to root it yet but I def­i­nitely have con­nect­bot. Good sug­ges­tions and I’ll at least read how to do the rooting

    For 2do lists and sim­ple project track­ing I use Astrid. Also, GDocs is good for edit­ing sim­ple doc­u­ments that sync up to the “g” cloud. Both tools allow me to spend more time think­ing ideas and doc­u­ment­ing them simply.
