Phone Apps

Since I asked for suggestions for a contact app for my Android phone it is only fair that I share the apps I use and find useful.

• Key Ring. Scan your membership cards and have them in your phone. Prevents the Constanza Syndrome.
• Light. Turns the whole screen white. Helpful for old tired eyes in dark pubs.
• Memo. Just a very basic note taker.
• Tripit. Pulls your confirmation notices from your email and presents the info in a timeline. It adds maps, weather. If you only travel a few times a year this is worth a download.
• Ultimate Stopwatch. It has the countdown feature that I need for physical therapy.

OK, those are the ones I find very useful that are not obvious. I do have Twitter, Four Square, Flickr, Facebook and a slew of library apps.

I'd like to find a contact app as nice as my old Palm had. I'm also looking for a good backup app. Something that would copy my apps and data from from the phone/SIM card to the SD card.
