I’ve been using my Phone a lot!

Lately, I’ve been really busy with my Google Android Phone that I’ve unlocked to work with Straight Talk.  It has been so good to me, but yet I’ve found that I need to buy a few Google Apps from the Market place.  I’m going to share with you the ones that have helped me increase my productivity with my HTC inspire and hopefully it will help you with your time.   After all time is money has they say.  

Google Maps!

If your like me, You like to know where your going.  This little app has helped me in my city and thus I don’t have to remember to turn left or right.  I’ve been using a Cassette Adapter [Affiliate Link] to listen to the directions of the Google Maps tell me which way to go when to take a left or right and so on. It is a great GPS Navigation that you can’t really do on the Iphonne to a point.  With the  4 pc Combo Accessory Bundle Kit [Affiliate Link] you can keep your HTC inspire charged and see the directions on screen if your really are looking to have a way to navigate in the city. I’ve not tried this out of the city so I’m unsure as to how reliable this is but it works really well with my HTC Inspire!

 

 

 

Podkicker Pro!

This App is great for those who like to listen to your podcast on the go.   I hate traveling and not having anything to listen to while I drive, if you are one of those that have to drive alot this little App is for you.  It cost $2.99 but I found it to be well worth the price.  I can do so much with this little app like Stream podcasts or download them for later view.  It even can help find podcasts  that you might want to find while on the road. If you want to try it before you buy it.  They do have a Demo version, available in Google Android Market place.  I did and loved it so much, I just decided to buy the player and keep using it.  Once your demo runs out it becomes a really lite app and thus you can’t do as much as when you have the pro version, but at least you get to see it in action before you pay the $2.99.  I think it is well worth it! Use the Cassette Adapter [Affiliate Link] and 4 pc Combo Accessory Bundle Kit [Affiliate Link] together to keep your phone charged and listen to podcasts in the car! 

 

 

 

Swiftkey X keyboard

This is the greatest little app that has ever come by my way.  They’ve got a free app version but once you used it the trial version of the pro version, you will see that you productivity slows down and you’ll want to buy it for $2.99.  I’ve been using this to text people and it’s predictive text is remarkable.   I have had to use very little typing to write text and other things to my family and friend.  I recommend this to anyone who doesn’t have to time to peck and type and waste time text messaging the old way.

 

 

 

Gmail!

This is one of those apps that I can’t seem to not do without.  I like to be able to read any email that I might get from anywhere I am  at the time.  It even tells me when I get email.  I like this little app, because  I can also email back people when there is a need. I love to be able to read my emails when I need to.  

Voice Search!

Hey when your driving you don’t have time to type out what you want.  Google is working really hard at fixing that.  I can just hit the app and tell it what I want.  I can call people or Antyhing you may want.  I can listen to podcasts or even music if I ask it.  I think Google is looking for a way to be like SIRI but I am unsure.  This is also a Free app from the Marketplace and thus you should give it a try!
