[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kwarizmi:
Top Ten So Far...

1. Thinking Space - tablets are ideal for creating/editing/viewing mindmaps. This is what I wanted a tablet for. Meeting notes are so easy to create on a mind map. Compatibility with FreeMind makes this my number one Android map by far.

2. MapDroyd - Maps on a 10 inch screen fantastic! (combined with GPS tether to phone via wifi or bluetooth - cool). This probably won't be compelling to most, but for someone without a data plan, this is great!

3. Firefox/Opera/Dolphin - I cannot decide between these three, but web browsing in general is great on the tablet. Firefox would come out far ahead if it rendered graphics well. It is with misfortune that many graphic images display jaggy on Firefox while displaying very well on Opera and Dolphin. I switch back and forth between these three regularly. There are several things I wish I could do on a tablet web browser that do not seem to be available (yet?). I want to whitelist cookies and javascript. I want to be able to open a local file from the browser (it can be done from a file manager, but I want to be able to do both) and I want developer tools like a least being able to view source.

4. Documents to Go - Viewing documents (particularly during meetings) is one of the main reasons I purchased the gTablet. Between Documents to Go, Office Suite Pro, ThinkFree Office and Netfront Life Documents, Documents to Go has done the best job of rendering the Word and Excel files that I have tried. I wish these office suites had trial versions for the editing features as I wish to be able to edit the documents as well. I have no idea how well these work at editing. Rats.

5. Jorte - The built in calendar is terrible. Most of the time when I view in month view, I cannot tell which days have events. The month view in Jorte is great on a 10 inch screen, and the widget is wonderful as well. Syncs with Google Calendar as all Android calendar apps should (but some do not. strange).

6. Whiteboard - a portable whiteboard for sketching ideas during a conversation at a coworkers desk. So simple, it is great! I do however wish for a more elaborate drawing application. Something like MacDraw, but for a tablet. How I long for a MacDraw application, even for the desktop. No drawing program I have tried has matched the ease of use of MacDraw. Rats.

7. BeyondPod - I have tried many different feed readers but none has matched BeyondPod for me. It syncs with Google Reader, works offline and has a great Podcast support.

8. Winamp/DoubleTwist/Songbird - I am having difficultly choosing among these three. I think Winamp is winning just based on looks and great shoutcast support. Songbird is a close second, but it does not display in landscape and doubleTwist's interface looks grainy. I am surprised that I do not use the tablet for listening to audio much. I thought that I would, but my cellphone is just more handy (literaly). On the other hand, if there was (or is, I have not tried them all) a music app that made better use of the 10 inch screen, I might use the tablet for listening to music more often. With a screen larger than a cellphone, it seems to me that a music app on a tablet should be more like a desktop music app, with a pane for playlists, a grid view for tracks with columns for tags, that is sortable. Then I would use that tablet for music more than my cellphone. Winamp is my preferred app on my cellphone so far as well.

9. Angry Birds - the boy loves to play Angry Birds. It keeps him occupied on car trips.

10 File Expert - A great file manager with built in SMB and FTP file sharing. Great stuff.

This is my list based on owning the gTablet for three weeks so far. I imagine that in three weeks, this list will change greatly, but Thinking Space will still be number one.

Cheers!
