It’s HBO. Anywhere.

LazyDroid Web Desktop

The web interface this app offers is the best I've ever seen in an Android remote control app (the one where you use a computer to control the phone, rather than use the phone to control a computer) - it's almost like a mini-OS, all in the browser.

--

Cerberus

This security app kind of reminds me of Theft Aware - it also contains features available to rooted devices (see below).

--

Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device. This is a free trial for one week, then you can buy a lifetime license for a small price from within the application: no monthly or yearly fees, just a one-time payment.

- Remote control through the website www.cerberusapp.com

Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:

- Locate and track it

- Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode

- Wipe the internal memory and the SD card

- Hide Cerberus from the app drawer

- Lock the device with a code

- Record audio from the microphone

- Get a list of last calls sent and received

- Edit your last journal entry

Application Folder

While Application Folder is not the first app in the Market to implement folders, it is probably one of the cleanest. And that number of apps contained inside is a nice touch (this is not easy to do on Android, from the developers' standpoint). The only problem is the ads - they seem to be too obtrusive.

--

This application provides folders in your home with pretty icons.

Unlike default android folder, this is very easy and pretty and you can change the folder name and icon.

For the convenience, application folder shows the number of application as a badge.

Mixology™ Drink Recipes

I don't normally post apps like this one, but I've tried a bunch of bartending apps and haven't found a good one yet. This one is the first real contender. The only downside - it's 17MB without Apps2SD Update: this was corrected in the latest version - it's now 8.5MB with Apps2SD enabled - excellent.

--

Mixology™ is the ultimate drink recipe and bartending guide.

Finally, the #1 cocktail recipe app for the iPhone has come to Android!

If the Contact information is not already stored you are automatically prompted to add the caller to your contacts. When the follow up time arrives, your Google Calendar will act accordingly and you will receive a notice of the follow up and can view follow up calls on your desktop as well.

GrooVe IP

Now, I personally have no use for this app, but users who are messing with sipdroid, sipsorcery, sipgate, ipkall, localphone, etc seem to be very excited about it ("game changer," "Best App I've used yet!" etc). I'm including all the details below, so see if this app is for you.

--

This app, in conjunction with Google Voice, lets you make unlimited calls to any phone in US or Canada using the data connection of your mobile device without using up any of your mobile minutes! Once you get a free public phone number from Google Voice, you can use this app to make or receive calls to/from anyone in the world. (For details of how to get a free US phone number, the low international calling rates, or any other details, please visit the Google Voice web site at http://www.google.com/voice.)

This app supports making and receiving calls using Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G data connections. It brings the power of Google Voice to you without the need to use any of your mobile minutes. You get all the advanced voice features provided by Google Voice on your mobile device. These features include:

- A single number that rings you anywhere

- Online voicemail--transcribed messages delivered to your inbox

- Free calls within US and Canada, and super low rates everywhere else

- The ability to send incoming call to voicemail

- Incoming call recording

With this app it is like having two-phones-in-one. For example, you can use your original phone number for business and use the new one for personal use.

This app is also perfect for you if you are in a location with poor or no mobile reception but still have Internet connectivity over Wi-Fi.

If you have a smart phone with Wi-Fi connectivity but no mobile plan, you can use this app to convert it to a free, full-featured working phone.

This app has a separate dialer that can be used to make calls. Alternatively, the native dialer/call-log/contacts/favorite functionality can be shared between the "two phones" on a call-by-call basis.

Andie Graph

Remember those great TI calculator emulators that Doug Melton put out in the Market a few months back? The ones that then disappeared due to a copyright claim by TI. Doug is back, this time with a emulator wrapper - you have to extract your own calculator ROMs to put into the program, which should prove ownership of said calculator, but I'm sure if you got creative, you could get any ROM you wanted.

--

Get a TI-82, TI-83, TI-85, AND TI-86 emulator for your phone!

***ROM NOT INCLUDED. Due to a request from TI, this app will NOT WORK until you EXTRACT YOUR OWN ROM. See http://supware.net/roms for details. (This is similar to other emulators on the market: GameBoid, SNESoid, GBAEmulator, NESoid, psx4droid, etc)***
