Awhile back, in August, I wrote about some of my favorite Droid apps and when a buddy of mine bought a Droid yesterday, it reminded me that it might be time for an update (not like my original "These Go Up To 11" update).
First and only change, I don't use PdaNet anymore, I use Easy Tether Pro. They both work well, but Easy Tether Pro automatically connects when you plug your phone in as opposed to making you click connect on your computer.
I also need to add AirSync to the list. AirSync lets you connect to doubleTwist on your computer through a wireless router. It is remarkably slow (slower than I expected), so I would not recommend it for anything beyond an album. Definitely not useful for dropping 8gb of music on the phone for the first time, but a good feature for quick updates.
Since I am making additions, why stop there?
Next up, LED Light. This does, exactly what you think, gives you a switch to turn on your LED flash, making your phone a fairly decent flashlight. Nothing fancy, just a solid, sensible solution.
Where's My Droid. This is a fantastically simple app that will help you locate your phone if you lose it. You can send a text to make the phone ring, or text you back the GPS coordinates of the phone (can also send an email in). You can set the word or phrase to activate these features to be whatever you'd like. I don't suggest setting it to "Tell me where you are so I can beat the shit out of you" just in case someone texts that to you and gets back a google map link to your GPS coordinates. If you are cellphone-keeping-challenged, this is a must have, so if you haven't downloaded it already why the fuck aren't you doing that right now?
