I’m an Android user. I like the iPhone, but my carrier doesn’t have it. AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and C-Spire carry the iPhone, but US Cellular does not. Anyway, I LOVE my Android phone.
One of my favorite apps, a cloud storage app called ‘Box‘ as in “put it in the box,” is currently offering 50GB of free storage for life if you download the app and activate an account by the end of March. The 50GB can be accessed from any device that accesses the web. If you have data you need to protect, for example, stuff you put in your Box, you should use Encrypt It for simple, straight forward AES 256-bit encryption.
Of course, I use Evernote just about every single day, as well as various Google apps. The Facebook app finally got decent, and I spend my lunch hour every other day with headphones on streaming TV shows from Netflix. Pandora is essential to me, as is Shazaam, an app for finding the names of songs by taking samples of them. Android’s first real credible analog to the iPhone’s Siri is Speaktoit Assistant. I could go on and on about various apps that I use or that I’m impressed with, but I’m pretty sure you’re already bored to tears. I’m pretty happy with my Samsung Mesmerize, the US Cellular version of the Samsung Fascinate on Verizon, and I don’t anticipate getting a new phone until USCC has 4G service in the OKC metro in the second half of this year. We also have a Toshiba Thrive tablet that we use for all sorts of stuff, but it doesn’t have a cell modem built into it. We tether it via bluetooth to one of our cells when we want to use it mobile.
What mobile apps do you guys use for your various platforms?
