So, I finally broke down and got a Droid 2 over the weekend. Actually, my wife and I each got one thanks to the "buy one, get one free" deal Verizon was having. I'm still getting used to how everything works on it, but so far I think I'm going to like it. I really haven't installed many apps yet, just a few games, an email client, and some Simpsons and Dave Chappelle sounds clips. :)

There are so many apps out there that it can be overwhelming when trying to figure out what to get, especially when don't even really know what's available. So, I figured I'd ping the tech community and get some suggestions from some "seasoned" Droid owners.

So, for those of you out there with Droids, what are some of your favorite apps?

Brian Swartzfager's Gravatar --Doggcatcher (for podcasts)
--Astro (file manager for phone files - a must-have)
--Ringer Mode Bar Widget (quick way to turn ringer off / set to vibrate)
--Shazam (for identifying the music playing around you)
--Pulse (nice RSS reader)
--Google's News and Weather app

And (shameless plug) if you need a simple to-do list/reminder app, I can hook you up with a free copy of my Android app (http://www.thoughtdelimited.org/android/myreminder...).

Eric Cobb's Gravatar Thanks everyone!

I started reading up on Google Voice yesterday, it looks pretty interesting but I'm not sure if I would use the service or not.

I've been meaning to get Evernote and Urban Spoon. I have Barcode Scanner and Google Shopper, which work really well together.

I've heard some good stuff about Google Goggles, Astro, and Launcher pro, too. I haven't heard of Pulse, but I'm going to check it out, I've been wanting to find an RSS reader.

Josh Grauer's Gravatar A couple ones I like are:

Flickr Free
gStrings (for tuning guitars and instruments)
Remote Desktop (costs money, but works really well)
Retro Camera
SMS Commander (for locating your lost phone)

Eric Cobb's Gravatar @Josh - I was wondering if there was some type of remote desktop app. That's one of the things I would definitely like to get. What are some of the features of it?
