Sean Brunett - E*Trade Mobile Pro

etrade

E*Trade Mobile Pro is a great app for those who use E*Trade for their investments. The etradeapp opens with a Dashboard that included the most recent Market values as well as recent quotes for stock symbols of your choice and news clippings. With a tap of the Menu button, you can log onto your account, buy and sell, evaluate your portfolios, compile a "watch list" of stocks that you want to keep your eye on as well as alerts. The app also comes with a widget that displays real-time Market data. If you use E*Trade and have been wanting a dedicated app to keep track of your portfolios, E*Trade Mobile Pro is it. It?s free and available from the Android Market. [Market Link]

Chris Parsons - Instapaper Client

ipaper

ipaperWhile an official app has yet to be released by Instapaper, Instapaper Client works quite fine as a replacement. Its basic and simple UI offers an easy to read interface for all your articles sent to Instapaper for offline reading. Rather then having to pull down that data each and every time Instapaper client caches it for reading at a later time. It?s free and awesome for any already existing fans of the Instapaper service.

Jerry Hildenbrand -- Mountain Chase

mountain

mountain chaseI caught wind of this one from our forums, and I?m glad I did. I?m a sucker for two things -- old-school pixel games, and zombies, and Mountain Chase uses 'em both well. It?s a downhill skiing game, much like Ski Free from old DOS and Windows 3.1 days, and it?s simple enough to be enjoyable. Add in bandits or zombies, ramps, and obstacles and it?s a perfect way to waste a few minutes. It?s free, works on Android 1.6 and higher, and fun as hell. [Market Link]
