Meridian Media Player
Meridian
is a great alternative to the default Music/Video Player Android app.
It includes gestures for feature shortcuts, video subtitles, search for
lyrics, tag editing, and more file listing options. Anyone looking for a
better multimedia experience on Android should embrace this app.Gmote
Gmote
is one of the best Android apps available. It streams compatible music
and video to Android devices or acts as a remote to control media played
on a computer. Set up a Gmote server (a short process) and you get
complete access and control to compatible files in your media library.
You can even use the touchpad features to control a PowerPoint
presentation. Visit Gmote.org for more informationMovies by Flixter
Movie
listings and schedules are great features to have in an app. Even
better is having those features and the ability to read reviews and
bookmark your favorite theatre, too. Movies by Flixter lists local
showtimes, reviews from users or RottenTomatoes.com, and information on
upcoming film and DVD releases.Steel
Does Android really need another browser? Steel makes answering that
question harder than you might think. Steel automatically clears cache
on exit (frees up space) and has a full-screen browsing mode that gives
users more screen real estate. It also has a much better system for
navigating between windows, a URL bar that suggests page titles from
your History, tagged bookmark organization, and optional left-hand
friendly controls. Some users may find that Steel offers a better web
browsing experience.Greed (Free Lite, $2.99 Full)
Greed does a much better job managing your Google Reader feeds than the
GR Mobile. It syncs with the account to mark articles as read, provides
feed/folder update notifications, and favorites articles. Greed comes
in the free Lite and a $2.99 paid Full version. Android users who opt
for the full version get podcast support, sharing options via Twitter,
and SD cache to support offline reading. Greed Lite does not support all
of these features; however, it performs the most basic syncing. Possible Alternative – NewsRob, FeedR, and most podcast apps. Pandora
Pandora is the best music streaming service around. It’s so good, I had to go back and edit this article and include it as the secret 51st best app. Pandora creates personal music stations based on a user’s favorite artist or song. Create a Beatles station and you’ll hear not only classic songs like “And I Love Her,” you’ll also hear music from similar artists like Paul McCartney and Don McLean. Pandora can bookmark songs, create multiple stations, link to easy song purchasing, and supply playlists built around user feedback. Note: *Available only in the United States.
USA Today
USA
Today isn’t the most prestigious newspaper in the country, but it’s the
first to recognize the value of creating a dedicated Android
application. That, plus a good-looking and easy-to-navigate interface, weather reports, and constant updates for news reports is why users voted this the best news app available for Android.SportsTap
Obsessive sports fan, meet SportsTap, an app that attempts to
centralize the sports world into your phone. SportsTap has scores,
stats, and news for all of the major team sports and Golf, Tennis, and
NASCAR racing. The app tracks users’ favorite teams, includes a LocalTap
feature to focus on an area’s franchises/colleges/events, and a
broadcast schedule of upcoming games.TuneWiki
Nesoid ($2.99)
Imeem
There’s
a reason T-Mobile added imeem to the AppPack: it’s one of the best
streaming applications available on Android. Imeem is an online music
streaming service, and their Android client does a good job in the
mobile realm. Download this app and register for an account to make
imeem play “personal radio” of artists you like, discover new music, and
stream 20,000 of the songs you upload to their website.Robo Defense
If
you’ve played one tower defense game, you’ve played them all, right?
Not quite. Robo Defense earned its spot as Best Arcade game by providing
a fun way to blast packs of invaders with guns, rocket launchers,
mortar, and surface-to-air missiles. Place these weapons at points along
a map and defend your land or watch it become overrun with attacking
forces.ShopSavvy
Anyone
who shops in brick-and-mortar stores needs to learn to use this app.
Scan a barcode and ShopSavvy will then compare prices at online stores,
local retailers, and even tell you if the product is in stock at nearby
stores. Users can also search by name or title. You can save money and
time with this great shopping aid.Shazam
The
days of hearing a song and wracking your brain to investigate its name
are over. Shazam can listen to a song and compare the sounds to its
massive library and return the artist, song title, and album information
just like that. You can even get additional information, YouTube links,
and immediately purchase the song if it’s available in the Amazon.com
MP3 library.Express News
