As you might have guessed already, I have one of those T-Mobile G1 and I love every bit of it!

twidroid

This applications is my trip to twitterland, every while and then, when I am not at my desktop, I look up my latest tweets or post a “Hello” here and there.

Timeriffic

Since my G1 is giving a “beep” everytime I get an E-Mail I use this application to set specific time frames when the device shall be muted or reactived. I don’t mind the beep, but my girl friend was driving me nuts everytime she woke up because of it. ;)

Battery Status

No need to explain this one, don’t you think? ;)

Delicious Bookmarks

Bookmarks, like in the sidebar to the right side, can be stored on this web platform. Sharing them can help others (and yourself) find useful information (if you don’t want to rely entirely on search engines like Google).

RTM Tasks

Helps me keeping track of my ToDo lists.

Toogle WiFi

One-click solution to activate the wifi controller. When I am home, I don’t want to miss my DSL broadband connection.

KeePassDroid

Keeping track of all the password you collect in the wilderness of the internet keeps your brain very busy. Fortunately there are tools like this which help you save your precious keywords in an encrypted database. Don’t forget the master keyword!

ConnectBot

Mobile SSH client with key authentification. When this server goes wild, I have used it the wrong way ;)

klickTel

This application is a mobile client for the an online directory for phone numbers and industries. You can get current traffic informations based on your location and it helps you find the nearest coffee house or cashpoint. It’s for Germany only.

The Schwartz Unsheathed

Who doesn’t want to have their own personal light sabre?! :)

I recently updated my G1 to the new version sucessfully. Please remember that this is probably a European version of Android (don’t know for sure), so please be careful @ US guys. Here is the tutorial:

Download the file and rename it to update.zip. Then put it in the root folder on your G1′s SD card. Then turn off your G1 completly. To start the service update press the key combination [Home]-[Quit], and keep them pressed until a warning sign appears on the screen. Then press [Alt]-[S] to start the update. After installation the G1 reboots twice and then its completed. You have to have Android v1.1 to install the update.
