What's the COOLEST app on your phone?
Out of the millions of apps out there whether for iPhone or Android etc...
Downloaded Kindle for Android today and it's cool but doesn't do Text to Speech yet. I do like it though.
Which is the coolest app you have and why, what does it do?

On my phone if I push a series of numbered buttons I can talk to someone without having to be in the same room as them. It is just so freakin' amazing!

Oh the Ipod/Iphone apps is one called StarWalk I think (not available on Android
) which shows the stars position from where you are.
I go for the freebies and have Battleships which the boy enjoys.
There is a painting one on Android which is good for kids as well.
WhatApp is good for free texting - it uses the wifi on your phone/ipod and is available for both Apple and Android.
I too have the Kindle one on my Android. have downloaded the girl with the dragon tattoo!!
Oh and of course I have the Next app too!!

Grand Theft Auto - nick a car, do drug deals, shag hookers and then shoot 'em and get yer cash back. Definitely no correlation to violent crime.

Find my phone - if I lose my phone I can go on to my computer, tap in my password and it will show me on the map where my phone is.
Diet application that helps me track weight loss/calories/fat/exercise and target weight - love that one as I have alot of weight to lose.
And 'fart for free' - my god that one amuses me.

SoundHound -- when you hear a song on the radio or at the party, it can identify it for you.

Among the those I like is one which through gmail and google earth you can set up the ability to track people by mutual agreement who are on your contacts list. Very useful for keeping tabs on close family members such as your kids, etc.

'Remote' let's you use your iPhone as a remote for iTunes on your PC.

cyclemeter...when I start tracking my cycle to work with a click of the headphone remote it sends a "start" post to facebook. Family and friends can then put comments against that post and cyclemeter interrupts my current song to read them out to me on the go - "keep pedalling you fat bastard" and similar sort of encouragement
