You should know, I’m a huge Android fan boy and because of this, here is my top 11 Android Apps for the Motorola Droid running Android 2.1.

1. K-9 Mail

   
   This App is far better than the original Email Client on the Android. It gives you an nice looking overview of your mails. K-9 also provides you with more settings than the native email app. The best feature i guess is the error log. You can finally see, what went wrong : D

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

2. Dropbox

   
   If you haven’t heard of “Dropbox” you should take a look at dropbox.com/. This tool synchronizes your set Shared Folder on your PC to an virtual Folder on the Internet. With this app, you can kepp track of your Shared Folder on the Android. You’re able to Down-, Upload and Delete Files from your mobile to your shared Folder. This App is just awesome when you’re working on different Devices.

   
   

3. Android Agenda Widget

   
   This App provides you with a Calendar Widget for your Homescreen. The format goes from 2×2 (that means, it takes 2 app icons width and 2 app icons height) to 4×4. The upcoming events from your Google Calendar are listed chronological. Great for keeping the overview of your Calendar.
   It’s also capable of displaying shared Google Calendars.

   
   
   
   
   

4. Last.fm

   
   Last.fm is just an awesome app if you are listening to Music using your Android. It’s not just able to connect to Streams, it also gives you some further Information about the Music you have on your Smartphone. One of the great features is for example the “Music Alike”. You can get a list of Music that’s like the one are listening.
   

   
   
   
   
   
   

5. Howcast

   
   This is one of the more interesting Apps. It’s a Video library of How-To Videos from Howcast.com. You can watch em like you watch videos on youtube. And it’s totally free. Must have!

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

6. AndFTP

   
   Great ftp App. You can manage unlimited ftp accounts. It has also a nice solution for the up- and downloading. You’re also able to manage file permissions.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

7. GDocs

   
   If your an user of GoogleDocs, this is a must have App. You can do whatever you can do with a normal Web View on the GoogleDocs. By the way, it’s just awesome to see a spreadsheet on your mobile

   
   

8. WordPress

   
   You’re sitting on the train and your notebooks battery run out from watching scrubs? This is the app to post your articles on the go. But I admit, it could need some more features. If you’re not aware of HTML it gives you just limited options. However the media inserting is just great. You can make a video and insert it to your blog with just a few clicks.

   
   
   
   
   

9. Quick Settings

   
   Nice little app to set some important Attributes. The Volume Control gives you perfect control of your Volume settings. You won’t find anything similar on the original settings.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

10. Password Safe

    
    This is one of my essential apps. I have so many passwords and due to increasing importance of a good security policy, I need to change a few monthly. It’s just impossible to remember all of em.

    
    

11. HOMERUN Battle 3d

    
    

    
    
    
    
    
    Now for a little fun Time. This is probably the best toilet game EVER!. You can just hit a few balls in the arcade mode or you face some real opponents in the online multiplayer mode. Really fun game!
