The Google News/Weather widget, Facebook, Touiter (a Twitter client), Helixlauncher (an alternative launcher), and Epocrates account for the bulk of my Android apps.

If you’re looking to purchase a device this summer, look for what’s been recently released by Verizon at the time. The handsets are likely to be more advanced from a hardware (faster processor, more memory, etc.) and software (Android “Froyo” 2.2) perspective.

I’m heading into my clerkships in this summer and I’m looking into getting the Droid. Aside from Epocrates, what apps do you find useful?

Sounds good enough! I will likely move to the Big Red network sometime soon, T-Mobile just is not cutting it by offering top notch phones.
I will wait to see if the upcoming phones are vicious iPhone killers.

Hey Oscar! Well, I can’t talk about the iPhone 3GS, but what I can say is that Verizon is doing some great things. They’ll have their 4G network up and running a full year before AT&T. The current network is amazing. And with Android on a lot of the upcoming smartphones… it’s a great move for Big Red. A lot of people love HTC’s Sense UI, so take a look at the Droid Eris or upcoming HTC Passion before rushing to get a Droid. All the phones are top notch though. You just have to play around with them in a store till you “click” with one.

I’m willing to bet that in due time, Android will also garner the interests of medical software writers. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hey, Rishi!

Long time no talk, bud! Hope you are surviving well. =)
I must say I am a bit perplexed as to what phone to get. The Motorola Droid or the Apple iPhone 3GS. What should I get? Is the Droid as good as they say?

hey, i’ve bought the HTC Hero more than a month ago. it’s still got the 1.5 version of Android but i just love the phone. however, as a med student, i’d like more med apps to be developed for the platform. the market just isn’t there compared to the iphone.

i love my htc for just the same reasons, particularly the Google integration. Do check out the Dolphin Browser (tabs and gestures!) until Mozilla’s Fennec gets a release. Other apps like Evernote and Remember the milk are compulsory for me.
