Paid and free iPad Apps I use and recommend

I have an Apple iPad for a couple of months now and here are some of the apps i can recommend:

Paid Apps

Good Reader
Best document viewer ever. Fast as hell and worth any money.

RDP
Sometimes I need to remotely login to a Windows maschine, and here comes RDP. There is a free version of the app available which lacks a couple of features. If you need those (like drag & drop) you need to get the paid version. Very useful!

My Movies
This app helps you keep an updated DVD / BluRay collection. You can use the camera of the pad as barcode reader and instantly add your volumes. There is also a functionality to take notes when you lend your DVD’s to someone, so you always know, where your stuff is! Sometimes it crashes, but hopefully that will be addressed by the devs.

Free Apps

Note Taker HD
Take some notes anytime you want.

Dropbox
Since the iPad has no SD slot, you can use Dropbox to transfer all kind of data to your iPad.

Flipboard
Flipboard is a news reader which arranges the news in a newspaper style. It can follow your Facebook and Twitter accounts and compile a sort of newspaper for you, including information behind links.
Very good and innovative program!

Windowshop from Amazon
Amazon shopping easy and comfortable.

Feeddler RSS
RSS Reader, especially useful in combination with a Google Reader account.

TeamViewer Free
I haven’t tried out the paid version, but the free version offers a lot of stuff already. If you have a computer with TeamViewer installed, you can remotely access it with this app.

klickTel
If you are new in town and need to find a certain locality (e.g. restaurant) this is your way to find it. This free app from one of the top directory and local search companies in Germany comes free of charge and is really useful in situations where you don’t know a phone number or address of the place you wanna go to. Germany only!

eBay
Watch and bid on auctions. Very easy to use.

Skype
Finally there is a Skype app for iPad which is really good and a real alternative to Facetime which can only be used with Apple devises.

My 10 favorite Android Apps

Today I want to tell you my 10 favorite Android applications. 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 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?! :)
