Ok… so its about time I wrapped this series up. Without much further ado, here are my top two Android applications:

#2. Facebook Application

Yes, I admit I have somewhat of a problem. I overuse Facebook. Handing me an application that allows me to efficiently access Facebook over my phone is dangerous… its like handing a dog a radioactive bone for supper… it might not be the best idea, but of course I’m going to love it! Though this application is little more than a wrapper translating the iPhone version of the website to an Android applicable one, it does its job of making the presentation of the website much better. This application includes all the basic support the mobile facebook site has to offer, including uploading pictures, changing statuses, spying observing your friends, and more. My only request is that this application have a timer on it that lets me know how much time I actually waste on that website. On second thought, I don’t want to know.

#1. Ringdroid

Yes, I chose a ringtone application as my favorite Android app. Think about it. When used in conjunction with Rings Extended, this application renders ringtone dealers useless. No more 99 cents for a ringtone, or if its popular, $1.99. If you own it as a song, you can now easily “Buy it, use it, break it, fix it // Trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it”. (Yes I am quoting Daft Punk). This application integrates seamlessly with the system, eclipsing the default ringtone management system (which is a good thing in my opinion).

Features:

• Open an existing audio file
• View a scrollable waveform representation of the audio file at 5 zoom levels
• Set starting and ending points for a clip within the audio file, using an optional touch interface
• Play the selected portion of the audio, including an indicator cursor and autoscrolling of the waveform
• Play anywhere else by tapping the screen
• Save the clipped audio as a new audio file and mark it as Music, Ringtone, Alarm, or Notification.
• Record a new audio clip to edit
• Launches automatically in response to the GET_CONTENT intent with a mime type of audio/ if any other application wants to pick an audio file – for example the “Rings Extended” application.
