Task Panel (pretty much the same as Taskiller)
Pandora
Wireless Tether App
WordUp! (Boggle knockoff)
AdFree (ad blocker)

Adfree says you have to root your device for it to work. This scares me.

Go to here, download, unzip, and throw on your SD card. Then load the ROM of your choice from the card. (I recommend checking out the controller settings before playing.)

I did Excite Bike, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Bowl, Contra, Zelda, Super Mario, Al Unser Jr, Megaman, Afterburner and a bunch of others.

holy shit

I can't think of a single game from my childhood not available on that site. It's a little overwhelming.

I think I am going to get the Super NES emulator just so I can try out The Tick game.

Dalen · **Posted:** Mon Dec 07, 2009 9:43 am

yeah, that site is insane.

i grabbed Defender, QBert, Centipede, Galaga, Double Dragon, Burger Time, and a few more.

You went for the Atari games, lol. (They are probably easier to play on a phone.)

Dalen · **Posted:** Wed Dec 16, 2009 12:31 pm

Kerre Li (xix) · **Posted:** Wed Dec 16, 2009 12:36 pm

I am not sure what the update earlier this week did for the Eris version of the droid...

Dalen · **Posted:** Wed Dec 16, 2009 5:46 pm

Kerre Li (xix) · **Posted:** Wed Dec 16, 2009 6:50 pm

robotboy · **Posted:** Wed Dec 16, 2009 7:50 pm

just some mega note taking thing i reckon. ill try this out

Dalen · **Posted:** Wed Dec 16, 2009 8:57 pm

i'm a heavy note taker. always want reminders. this has text, photo, and voice reminders. you create a reminder, and it's automatically uploaded to your page online, and stays on your phone. you can manage from both.

Bumping this thread...

Installed Juicedefender last night and have noticed a nice uptick in my battery life. If I am to believe it, it has increased by battery life by 1.73x.

Battery Minder is an app that displays a number battery percentage in the status bar and also tells you what is eating up most of your battery so you can adjust your usage or settings accordingly.

Agree that Advanced Task Killer is essential
