    What's on my new Galaxy SII?

    Having just got my new mobile I've spent the weekend playing with Android Market. Here's where I've got to so far.

    UTILITIES
    Barcode Scanner – A standard tool that really should come pre-installed.
    Folder Organiser –VITAL - Perhaps because I moved across from Symbian (Yup, all the way from the I8910 Forum) I was horrified at the total lack of organisation of the Android Apps. This was my first install. It’s easy to use and gives you folders on the home screens.
    Quick Settings – An easy way to control the various sound volumes amongst other things.

    BUSINESS
    Jorte – I’m still playing with calendars but this is the current one I’m using. My favourite was Schedule St. but for some reason it could not get the date correct on Day-view and hence entering appointments was a nightmare.
    Memo – A simple on-screen notetaker.

    GAMES
    JetCarStunts – The game market seems a bit limited on Android at the moment, particularly after seeing those available for the iPhone. This is a port from the iPhone but is a “showcase” game. Be warned, it’s tough!

    INTERNET
    Chrome Marks – Sync bookmarks from Google Chrome on your PC to your mobile.
    Evernote – A cloud based note-taking program that I've been using for some time and keep feeling I should be making more use of.
    SugarSync – Backup important files to the cloud and sync with multiple computers.

    MUSIC
    Amazon MP3 – I also have a Galaxy Tab and although a bit basic, on the Tab this gives a louder volume than the built-in mp3 player.
    Spotify – I’ve recently converted and can’t say enough nice things about Spotify.
    Wolfgang’s Vault – For aging hippies this is a must. Access live tracks from your favourite 60s / 70s bands.

    TRAVEL
    Beer Map – My second love after gadgets!


    Has anyone any other suggestions of must-have Apps?

    Go Launcher Ex is a good app. Its a UI and replaces TW4; You can add folders on the Home Screen and app draw, has 5x3 scrolling dock bar, A recent used apps menu, running and task killer menu as well as tabs in the app draw. Also has themes to customize it with
