Pete, things to download:
Google voice (sets up so all of your voicemails get sent as texts/e-mails so you never have to listen to a voicemail again)
DolpinHD web browser (I think it's better than the stock browser and so far I've liked it better than Opera but I'm still trying both)
PandoraAdvanced Task Killer (kills all programs so they're not draining your battery when you aren't using them)
Amazon app (I buy a lot of books and it's fun as hell to take a picture or scan the bar code on a book at Barnes and Noble and it pops up the Amazon page to the book with reviews and their cost.)
Shop Savvy (takes barcodes of items and will show you how much and where they are available online)
Google Goggles (similar, takes photos or scans barcodes and then scans the internet for info on whatever it is)
Qik or Fringo (video chat apps. With the EVO front camera you can video chat with mrs. pete if she has one too. we travel a lot for work so this is pretty nice)
Kayak (easy to search for and book reservations)
Your phone will come with
Friendstream which is a mash up of your facebook and twitter accounts. Makes it easy to follow both. I set it up as a full page widget.
ESPN Scorecenter (You can personalize it to have live tracking of whatever teams you set.)
Weather Channel app
Put the
google search app on your front page as a widget. It'll search your phone/contacts/internet all from the one input and also has voice input.
That's all I can think of right now
