Missing Droid Applications
by rm 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.
