Some Apps for the droid

ShopSavvy Price: Free
Developer: Big in Japan, Inc. (www.biggu.com)
Shop Savvy won the 2008 Android Developer Challenge. Think of it as your personal shopping assistant. It uses the camera in your phone to scan the bar code on any product and then finds the best prices on the Internet and at nearby local stores.

The Weather Channel Price: Free
Developer: The Weather Channel Mobile (www.weather.com/mobile)
One of the most useful aspects of the Droid is being able to check the weather on a moment’s notice from wherever you are. It’s super- convenient to know what the weather will be before you have to travel or even just before you leave for your morning commute. The Weather Channel’s mobile app is the best of the lot. It allows you to use your Droid to access severe-weather warnings, forecasts, and radar maps for your city and thousands of other cities worldwide.

Pandora on Android
Crank up the tunes on your new Droid immediately by installing Pandora's Android app, available for free in the Android Market. Like its online and on-the-iPhone counterpart, the Pandora Android app lets you listen to personalized radio stations based on your favorite artists or songs.

Google Voice
File this one under "outlawed on iPhone," too. The official Google Voice for Mobile app fully integrates Google Voice functionality into your new Droid phone. Once installed, you can make outgoing calls from your Google Voice number with the touch of a button, right from your contacts list. You also gain easy access to voicemail and Google Voice-based SMS messaging.
