Now that the developers of “Useful Switchers” are charging for the app I have made the change to Power Manager. It still has the main toggles like wifi and it shows current battery life. It also has its own purpose, creating power profiles that help your battery last longer. I’m a fan!!!

What about Waze? I have been using them lately and love it. Killer potential in this app to save mass amounts of time driving

I just remembered two more…..

A2B. Easiest way to remember where you parked your car.

Keyring. Put all your grocery store club card and gym memberships cards on your phone, thus freeing up space on your key ring.

I’ll add in a few too.

Google Voice. That app is tons better than that 3rd partyapp was (although, to be fair, the dev of the 3rd party app did what he could). Only thing left is to add MMS and to have messaging routed right through GV, instead of having to open the GV SMS app. Did that string of text make sense?

The new app Aloqa is pretty sweet. Location based searches of set parameters with pushed updates of that information. I’ve been messing with it for the last 24 hours, and I think I’m in love. http://aloqa.com. Even has a FB plugin.

SMS Popup is a must have. Now to get it to work with GV somehow…

Close Everything 2 is a great app to close everything that’s running in the background. You can exclude apps from being closed, and odo a batch close, or you can close processes one at a time. ‘Tis wonderful.

Power Manager changes your phone settings (such as screen brightness, how long the phone stays awake, or even to turn on/off wifi) based on triggers you can set up (on charger, good battery , low battery, etc). This has helped me get a few extra hours out of my battery each day. I can’t recommend it enough.
