+p90X on google sky. I am amazed at the power available in handheld devices every time that app is used by anyone I know.

simply fucking amazed.
 
Smart tools. Really neat little app that uses the device as a measuring tool, angle calculator ( swingarm angle) decibel meter, etc etc etc.
 
All the free Google apps; Gmail, Calendar, Chrome, Voice, Navigation, Earth, Sky, Tracks, Translate. Another big plus for Google users is that your Gmail, Contact and Calendar entries automatically sync with the Google servers. Heaven forbid you should 'lose' you phone, if you did you can login to Google on another Android phone and boom all of your Gmail, Contact and Calendar entries re-sync.

Another useful app is AirDroid. It basically allows you to login to your phone via any web browser and control most of your phone functions, Text Messages, Contacts, Music, Photos, Movies, etc. Nice to be able to manage/type messages via a big computer keyboard instead of on the phone.

PS: Which Android phone? Which OS version?

What exactly does google sky do?

Google Sky for astronomy. Know when your bad moon is rising.

Download one of the free Speedtest apps, turn off your Wifi, run the speed test and see what kind of down/upload speed results you get.

Remember to turn on Wifi when done.
