Guru gets some new audio equipment after last week’s problems.We talk navigation and more home screen customization.

Show Notes

  • OsmAnd(Website, Install via AppBrain) – Open Source/OpenStreetMap GPS application. Works on and offline with audible navigation. OpenStreetMap is a user-contributed map/geographic project.
  • Guru and his Like New Droid
  • PdaNet with SMS Agent(Website, Install via AppBrain) – While the Mac/Windows versions require software for USB tethering, if you use the Bluetooth options, you can use it with any OS as it requires no third-party software on the computer side.
  • Easy Answer Button(Install via AppBrain) – Replaces slider with large buttons
  • Organization
    • Fun with Folders
    • Launch-X Free(Install via AppBrain), Launch-X Pro(EUR0.99, Install via AppBrain) – “Launch-X is a powerful widget that gives you quick-access to your apps, contacts, bookmarks, settings, ..! The widget takes a single row on your screen (4×1), but you can fill it with more than the standard 4 icons, by using multi-screens (up to 49 shortcuts).“
    • A Tale of Two Hidden Dock Apps – Per Review
  • Key Ring Reward Cards(Website, Install via AppBrain) – Trying to be the most popular loyalty management program for both iPhone and Android. Syncs to an account on their site where you can print out your cards on a small consolidated sheet. On August 20th, they posted a sneak peek of upcoming features, which will add in, from the looks of the screenshots, company/program profile pages(locate a store, community tips, notes, dialer, website, etc), and coupons. The app does track location, and it appears they are gearing up to permit location based offers/coupons.
  • New Google Voice app with widgets coming?
