- Kobo reader, ScanLife, volume locker, RealCalc, Auto WiFi Toggle, WiFi Seeker, TuneInRadio, SuperCompass, battery status, alarm clock, weather eye,... - zork Apr 21, 11:22
- Dolphin Browser Mini is the big one. Lots of mine are sports and games related. -- nm - TFox Apr 21, 11:13 6

- Get the Amazon Appstore. Free app every day -- nm - loosilu client si Apr 21, 11:01 3
  - no worky in Canada-y. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 11:02 1
    - bastards! -- nm - oblique Apr 21, 11:02
  - sfan -- nm - oblique Apr 21, 11:01

      - one of the Flashlight apps (so useful). Steamy window, SoundHound -- nm - decline Apr 21, 11:06 5
        
        I know a flashlight app provides a little more light, but I've never needed to do more than just turn on my phone to get a light I can use. -- nm - mara Apr 21, 11:07 4
        
        It also flashes colour and text! - Reagen Apr 21, 11:10
        
        The flashlight app is also nice when you need a light to stay on. i.e., so it doesn't go dark after 10 seconds of non-use. - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 11:10
        
        Usually, yeah. Sometimes I need to use the flashlight app on my iPhone 4 because it can turn on the LED flash (as a very bright light) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 11:08
        
        on my droid x the flash is surprisingly bright - much brighter than the cell it self. -- nm - decline Apr 21, 11:07
      - I use the Flixster movies app - works better for Canada. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 11:03 1

here's amazon's description... nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 21, 10:28 10
- gotcha. Jax, if Northern California makes sense to you (as you said on bwhatever), then Northern VA is equivalent. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 10:30 9
  - To people in the other 49 states, I'd think "Virginia" would suffice in location. California is 800 miles N to S. Virginia is 200. - JaxSean Apr 21, 10:57 4
    - Apparently it means something to network people. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:11
    - It's totally a "you gotta be here" thing - Will Hunting Apr 21, 11:03 1
      - Seriously, have you SEEN state politics? I don't want to be associated with that freak show. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:12
    - (Like, would "N.W. Virginia" be in the northern part of west virginia, or northwest virginia?) :) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 21, 10:58
  - also, from wiki: "Northern Virginia's data centers currently carry more than 50% of the nation's Internet traffic." -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 10:33 3
    - ...and vehicle traffic! Well, it feels like it sometimes. -- nm - samara Apr 21, 10:48 1
      - hi sam!!! yeah, especially lately. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 10:54

  - [deleted] 5
    - I'd fall in line with the middle 18. I don't think he's a superstar, but I don't think he's JaMarcus Russell either. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 10:33 4
      - I think he needs a coaching staff he'll respect, but... - David Apr 21, 10:44 2
        
        I don't understand the Gabbert love either. I'm a Mizzou honk and I wasn't that impressed. I much prefer Chase Daniel. - Jim Apr 21, 10:48 1
        
        It's the madness of the draft process. Suddenly, his intangibles matter more than his game film. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:54
      - I don't think he succeeds in Carolina, but he could be a Pro Bowler on a good franchise. - Strongbad Apr 21, 10:34
- If you're the Panthers GM, are you more afraid of picking Cam and him failing, or not picking him and see him turn into a star? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 10:29 13
  - They're in the south. They have to take Cam Newton. It would be humiliating if he was the type of pro that mirrored his college performance. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:42 2
    - Kicked off his first team for being a criminal, dominates the CFL, then a one-year wonder for a new team elsewhere? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:44 1
      - Mike Vick isn't a bad blueprint for his personality, just without the violence. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:45
  - [deleted] 9
    - So has almost every team with the #1 pick in the past 10 years. You need another team wanting to move up. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 10:30 1
      - Well, with the reality of a rookie salary cap staring them in the face, there may be some movement at the top of the draft this year. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 10:32
    - Word. I can't imagine them picking a QB again this year and having it blow up again. I hope they stay there and go Peterson. - Jim Apr 21, 10:30 6
      - Peterson and Dareus are the 2 safest picks on the board. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 10:36 5
        
        Peterson is far from a safe pick. The NFL just changed the rules to negate the best part of his game. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:46 3
        
        DAREUS!!!! I've finally decided...this is who I want and I'll be pissed off if we pass on him. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 10:49 2
        
        From what I'm seeing, this is who you guys are locking in on. - David Apr 21, 10:55 1
        
        That's what I'm seeing as well...and I'm good with that. it would super duper if we could get a partner (like Arizona) and drop a couple slots and - Jim Apr 21, 10:58
        
        You misspelled "Peterson and the newest Denver Bronco Dareus". - Jim Apr 21, 10:38
