My favourite apps are Gmote, Twidroid, Weather, ToggleWifi and a link to my google reader. Prefer Twidroid to Twit2Go for its photo uploading easiness, auto url shorteners and location button. Love controlling laptop plugged into HDTV via the Gmote - you have to try it and see (full mouse and keyboard control from you G1!). ToggleWifi notifies you when there is no WiFi available, you then press the notification to turn WiFi off. The button on your android desktop turns it back on again. Google reader link is perfect when I pop to the loo or jump on the bus. I can highly recommend www.androidandme.com as the top android/G1 blog I have found. Updated regularly and a terribly useful resource. Gina: copied you and got rid of the clock putting search in the centre instead. Couldn’t be bothered getting screen grabs.

- Steel – alternate browser based on built-in WebKit rendering engine

- Twit2Go – Twitter client
- aHome – alternate home screen manager
- Any Cut – add direct call shortcuts on your home screen (among other things)
- ConnectBot – ssh client

- No Signal Alert – vibrates when you have 0 bars of cell reception
- Ringdroid – visual ringtone editor
- Useful Switchers – toggle everything
- Wifi Tether for Root Users – what’s the point of having root if you don’t use it? ;) (I have a dev phone)
