I thought it was time to revisit the subject. I’ve added a few new apps that I use frequently, and I’ve replaced several apps.

1. Greed – I am a GReader addict, and this app just feeds my dependency. It’s the only app I’ve paid for. It’s worth your $5 if you use GReader.
2. Locale – This does a great job of putting the location based capabilities of Android to good use.
3. Weather Channel – Still one of my most used apps.
4. PktAuctions eBay – This is a really nice eBay app. It is easy to use, and it works great.
5. Ring Control – This was the first app I installed. I am biased, a good friend of mine wrote it. The paid version adds new functionality, i’ve stuck with the free version.
6. OI Safe – This app is an upgraded replacement for Password Safe. Still works well. My old favorite eWallet is now available for Android, but not at the magic price of free.
7. Google Finance – This has replaced Quote Pro.
8. K-9 – This has gotten better since my last review. It alerts properly, even when the phone is locked.
9. ConnectBot – On the rare occasions that I need to SSH into a server, and my laptop is miles away, this one works.
10. Handstand – I don’t use this as often as Greed, but it’s still a nice app.
11. ShopSavvy – Still cool. I used it today at the local Microcenter, saved myself $30.
