I've got 98 apps installed.....far too many to type out. :-)

I'll check AppAware. Maybe it can spit out a list for me.

"SlideIT keyboard - similar to Swype but better!"
How is it better than swype? their site and media certainly look less professional and thats the only difference i can see so far - what does it do that swype doesnt?

"SoundHound ∞ - better than Shazam"
Same as above, running shazam, can you elaborate on how its better?

"EStrongs File Explorer - great file explorer, better than Astro imho"
Agreed.

I have tried all three (that I know of) sliding input keyboards - Swype, ShapeWriter and SlideIT. Swype and ShapeWriter had a couple of quirks which I found annoying. ShapeWriter added spaces in between words (even with that feature turned off!). But ultimately, I guess it depends on personal preference, your experience may vary.

As to why SoundHound is better, have a look at this review - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/technology/personaltech/19smart.html?_r=2

I have found it to be much faster than Shazam and it also recognises the songs I hum! It's well worth the $4.99!

I didn't post, but have a few comments. I had the Swype beta on my phone and I really liked it, but then I flashed a new ROM and it decided I had a different phone and refused to function fully. I sent them an email about it and never received a reply. Bugger that.

I have been using ShapeWriter....and it's pretty good for straight word typing, but not as good as Swype. The folks at ShapreWriter answered my email within 24 hours and sent me an APK in email that won't expire (They have been bought by "Nuance".)

I might have a look at SlideIT. Swype seem to have ruled themselves out by adopting anti-piracy measures not compatible with my 5-ROMs-by-lunchtime Android lifestyle.

"SoundHound ∞ - better than Shazam"
Same as above, running shazam, can you elaborate on how its better?

Soundhound can ID a song from someone humming a few bars while Shazam requires the studio recording to match against the hash it holds in its database. Humming a few bars won't have a match.

"EStrongs File Explorer - great file explorer, better than Astro imho"
Agreed.

Same here. Having FTP and Windows share access as well makes it a must-have.

For those that just can't get the hang of using Swype, but want something better in terms of key spacing and predictive text than the stock Android keyboard, try the new SwiftKey beta. Search the market for it. It also has heuristic learning which after a short period of use is uncanny in its ability to figure out not only words, but statements that you probably weren't aware you use frequently.

I'm also liking the Calendar Pad app which replaces the stock Android Calendar app, which I find to be pretty lightweight. In particular the different views it offers.

I use Astro file explorer, I may check out EStrongs.
