Hello,
With the the relentless success of Google in the mobile space, one would be remiss to not devote a post to interesting and beneficial apps from the Android genre. Here is a list of some of the apps I would heartily recommend:
Skype: The mobile version works surprisingly well and is a wee bit simpler to use than the Windows 8 version (that links Skype accounts with Windows profiles).
WhatsApp: The concept of WhatsApp is revolutionary and yet effective - hence its success across a number of platforms. The ability to send your location using the GPS function can be so useful.
Google Navigation: A simple and yet fairly effective GPS guiding system for your car. The satellite imaginary of places you pass can help change a mundane drive around the M25 orbital into a somewhat more interesting experience.
Evernote: A fairly intuitive notes app that automatically synchronises with it's partner on the Desktop. The Skitch add-on supports handwriting which provides a more reliable service than the S Memo offering that is provided by default.
Adobe Reader: Despite a number of PDF readers available, the sleek design, annotation options and bookmarking place this app on my list of favourites.
HBR Summaries: Stay abreast of new research highlights from the Harvard Business School with the convenience of your handset.
Root Explorer: A File Manager for your Android tree structure that gives access to those hard to reach places. Integration with 3rd party systems such as Dropbox is extremely useful.
Kapersky Mobile Security: In addition to regular antivirus and other threat protection, it comes with a function for locating a lost or stolen handset.
Chrome browser: The synchronisation with your Google account combined with a fast and easy-to-use browsing experience is a God-send for both work and play.
Amazon store: The smart design helps optimise the shopping experience for the mobile user - can be a real time-saver!
Kind regards,
Musab
