Geek Out! Question time!

[starrylizard]

My new mobile arrived! Woo!
So, now that I have an Android phone, please inform me:

WHAT ANDROID APPS CAN'T YOU LIVE WITHOUT?
I'm after useful apps, rather than games. Oh and which of the various Live Journal apps works best, if any?


------------------
And a completely off-topic question. Does anyone know of an UPBEAT cover version of the song Silent Lucidity by Queenryche? I can't seen to find any (on youtube or iTunes) and I'm a tad surprised by that.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. The apps that I use the most are
- Evernote - for making to do lists
- Flipboard - collects news stories from other sites into different topics, e.g. travel, food, photography
- News (The Guardian, in my case)
- Facebook
- GMail
- Youtube
- Shazam - someone mentioned it above
- Chrome - for LJ/DW; I use Explorer for anything else
- LinkedIn
- Flixter
- Google goggles - haven't actually tried this, but supposedly you can take a photo of something you like in a shop and search the web for it.

The phone also has various widgets, like Googlesearch, SVoice...other S-things that I haven't tried out yet. I think S-Suggest tells you restaurants etc that are located nearby to you (if your location is switched on).

I keep the settings button on the homepage for quick access to volume changes etc - although the swipe-down screen is very useful for switching quickly to silent or turning off wi-fi.
