It's true - there IS an app for that!


I joined the Android network this past weekend. 
And I'm loving every minute of it.
There seriously is an "app" for everything imaginable. 

Sprint HTC Hero

So far:
  • I put the camera feature to use. It has the same megapixels as my digital camera {hmm...hint, hint future gift idea}
  • My parents and I spent mucho time in awe of "Shazam" ~ the song reader. You hold the phone out while music is playing, the phone listens, and then responds with the song and artist. {I am pathetic at this game, so this app is very helpful for future "iTunes-ing"}.
  • I am attempting to control my eating by tracking my food and exercise in a "CalorieCounter" app with built in details on thousands of foods ~ much more reliable than my mental math ;)
  • The "MyCoupon" App continues to feed me discounts in my area ~ 20% off at Macys this weekend? Yes, please!
  • More along the lines of shopping, the "ShopSavvy" feature allows you to scan a barcode or search any item and it will tell you where to find it for the lowest price.
  • "Where" gives restaurants, stores, gas stations, etc nearest to your current location even if I have no idea where I am in this city.
...And this is only the beginning, there are thousands more free downloads available. 

I'm amazed. What WILL they come up with next?!

Sidenote: Thank you so much for all the NYC suggestions. Can't wait to put them all to good use!! Have a great weekend whatever you will be doing :)

Ok...now I'm seriously outta here to go pack. I hate packing. But it will all be worth it!

So I thought I would be jealous of your new, cool phone, but now I'm certain...you pretty much get all the benefits of an iPhone without having a terrible iPHone! haha nice choice :)
