Offline syncing is quick and the app clearly shows progress status as the sync is happening. Spotify also syncs with the desktop application – anything you do on the desktop app will be reflected surprisingly quickly on the G1 itself. You can drag songs into the mobile folder on the desktop app to move songs to your smartphone. The interface is very clean and the tabbed player gets out of the way to let you play with other controls even as a song is playing. Playlist management is intuitive and powerful. Overall, this is a great new music streaming app for the G1. 

Under the menu you can buy and share apps as well as set bookmarks and change settings. You can create a Pandora account from within the app and creating new radio stations is identical to the process on the website – you can search based on the song title, album name, or singer. Pandora can be a little heavy on the battery-life on your G1, so keep an eye on that battery meter as you use this app. You can toggle between a high quality stream and a lower-quality one for slower networks. Both are very good, and only true audiophiles may notice the difference for certain soundtracks. Overall, this is a great app for the G1, and comes after a long wait. 

Qik allows you configure titles, descriptions, and other parameters before beginning streaming. The interface is simple, intuitive, and discoverable. While the app defaults to sharing your live videos publicly on the Qik website, you can chose to enable a private mode that you can share only with friends and family if you prefer. The streaming video has really low latency as mentioned before, and does not stutter or skip even on relatively busy Wi-Fi channels. This is a one of a kind service that allows you to stream live video from your T-Mobile G1. 

The streaming music quality is high and there is a pretty large collection to pick from. The application shows small unobtrusive ads that can be closed easily. The Last.FM application reviewed previously does not have ads. All in all a very decent and functional app allowing pretty sophisticated library features. You’ll need an Imeem account to use this, and that can be created from within the application. 

The integrated mapping is very useful. This is a great application that covers all your needs when it come to watching a movie at a theater. The ability to view the trailer right from the application means deciding which movie to watch can be pushed as late as possible, you no longer have to decide before you leave. The interface is clean and usable with clear, readable fonts and colors. This is app is free and available on the market now. 

It allows background streaming, which means you can browse the web, and play with other apps while listening to your music. The app is available for free in the market. 

Now that they are finally putting some paid apps on the market, wouldn’t it be great if TiVo came out with one? I love TiVo and I’m an avid fan and user of the service and I think we need some absolutely to die for apps on the Android Market and an applications where we could edit our TiVo setting from ANYWHERE would definitely do be worth the buy.

A couple great features the TiVo app could have is to show listing of “Whats Hot” that’s going to be coming on the tele for example the Academy Awards and Oscars, movie listings, and more. It would also be cool if they had maybe a Top TiVo thing where you can see the most coveted shows that everybody is trying to get recorded. 

But really now, lets get some killer apps out there developers. Even if you have to charge for them. The first person who makes a decent video recorder can charge 1 dollar for the app and I’m sure they’d rack up a few hundred thousand in the first night. So who’s going to be first to create a TiVo application for me? I’ll give you a dollar

This application is only in Beta in the Android Market right now, but allows users to make local rate calls to any of your Skype contacts no matter where they are. In order to use the service all you need in an Internet connection, you don’t even have to have Wi-Fi or a 3G connection. Skype Beta also allows you send instant messages to your friends.

Basically you will be saving tons on international and long distance calls to mobile phones with this application. If you have not already given it a try, we suggest that you do so soon. Let us know what you think. Since it is in Beta, what do you think can be improved upon in a final version?

You can access daily sports scores for Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, and College Sports and get Live in-game notifications for your favorite teams.

I’ve had a couple other scorekeeper applications and it didn’t take long to realize the Scoreboard Application by Google blew them all away. It has a super clean interface, it’s all-inclusive, and it loads respectively fast. If you have an Android handheld device or G1, definitely go get this application. If you don’t have a G1, then you should definitely go and buy one.
