Neat Android apps

[Neil]

Since Motorola only saw fit to update my phone to 2.2 so far, the built in taskmanager on 2.2 is kinda lame (actually works fine but is SLOOOOOOOOW to load), and this one is on my Tablet (2.3) and works much better imho and has a cache cleaner too:

ES Task Manager
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.taskmanager

and to go with it

ES File Explorer
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop

I don't use any sort of music search apps Grant, altho it does look interesting.

Considering giving Iris a go for some laughs and yes, Iris is Siri backwards
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dexetra.iris

Let us know what it says when you tell it 42 then please

I just installed a Futurama widget.  It lists a new Futurama quote every hour or so.  I love it!

What is 42?

42 is the song by English alternative rock band Coldplay

(twice)
"42" also gives the same answer...

What is the meaning of Life, the universe and everything?

good semantic question, have you tried another program?

Is "Earth" available for Android

Iris is updating now, will see if it's any better...

I need some of these now... for the Kindle Fire.  Close to getting a smart phone, but nothing quick clinches it for me yet.  I'm back to thinking an unlocked iPhone 4s, but waiting to see the Galaxy Nexus, it too big for all my cellphone pockets though... the main reason the iPhone is still in the running it fits the pockets....  such a hard decision.... that Droid Razr almost had me... and if I was not so busy I probably would have snapped up that 111 deal, but alas it was probably for the best I didn't.

Just downloaded the police scanner app. Works great and you can hear some interesting conversations.

Do you know the locations and is it real time?I have a few scanners but hardly listen anymore.I was in law enforcement for many years and got burned out on police calls but it has been a few years and I find myself missing the calls so I may renew my interest.

Yes I believe it is real time. The app allows you to search for "areas near you" which is fun as it pulls up most of your local PD and fire/medical stations. You can also search anywhere in the US. On top of that you can search the top 50 channels. Chicago is always #1.
