Missing Droid Applications

by on Dec.02, 2009, under Misc

As I use my Motorola Droid more and more, I am very impressed with the quantity and breadth of applications that are available for it.  It is now to the point where I almost always leave my iPod Touch at home.  Yet, there are a few applications that I sorely miss:

  • Amazon Kindle or B&N Reader — Yes, I know that there are several book readers available for Android.  But, none of them are as easy to use as an Amazon Kindle for the iPod Touch.  A simple click purchases and downloads what I want.  Where is my seamless eBook reader?  (The B&N Reader is an Android device.  Maybe the software team is working on a version for us?)
  • Urbanspoon — Yes, I know that Places accesses the reviews from Urbanspoon.  And, yes, I know there is a mobile web optimized version of Urbanspoon.  But, Urbanspoon is simply more fun to use and makes finding a restaurant easier.  I also love the idea UpScope augmented reality.
  • Roboform — A great password keeper that seems to be on every mobile platform except Android.  Let’s hope.
  • XM Radio — Yes, I know that there are some great Internet Radio applications and I enjoy Pandora, too.  But, Sirius/XM is better.  I like having real people program my channels and expose me to new music.
  • MLB Live — Boston Red Sox rule!  And, MLB reports would be fantastic.  I know that there was a beta during the World Series.  Hopefully this means that MLB for Android is coming in 2010.

Which five iPhone applications do you miss on the Droid?
