My favorite Droid apps

This isn't directly related to any of my usual topics, but I am sometimes asked which Droid apps I find most useful. Although Android-platform phones have a long way to go before they catch up with the great apps on iPhone, there is still a lot of great stuff out there. Here is a list of my favorites (which can all be found in the Android Market):

- NewsRob pulls your Google Reader feed onto your Droid. In the (for pay) Pro version, you can also share and comment on the items in your feed.

- Evernote, which is also available on several other platforms, has become my go-to application for personal organization (my own system is based on David Allen's Getting Things Done). It is easy to uploads snapshot or text or audio notes, or to pull down the notes I already created on my laptop.

- Aldiko is a book reader. The Droid screen isn't big enough to qualify it as a real e-reader, but this app is handy for downloading and reading public domain books for when I'm on the go and have a few minutes to read.

- Phone Flicks is great for seeing and editing your Netflix queue. This is handy when you're away from the computer but get a movie recommendation, or when you realize you'd like to move something at the bottom of your queue up to the top.

- Plink Art allows you to learn about art as well as identify art by taking a snapshot of it.

- Yelp is one of many apps that will find restaurants, stores, and gas stations around you based on your location. Yelp has the added advantage of a rich network of reviewers who provide detailed information on each location. The Droid version is lacking an ability to add reviews, but it's still a great asset.

- Sketch Online (Beta) is a fun game that connects you with other players who try to draw and identify pictures, much like the party game Pictionary.

- LOL Sites is great for a laugh, allowing you to access feeds of some of the most popular humor blogs like People of Walmart, Failblog, Engrish Funny, and many others. Of all my apps, it's probably the one I spend the most time with.

What other apps do you have and recommend for those with Android phones?
