I’ve been enjoying my Sprint EVO phone since it’s release.  Coming from years of using Windows Mobile, learning Android has been “interesting” to say the least.  Since I converted to droid, I have found some apps that were nothing more than garbage, while at the same time finding many others that I now find myself not being able to live without.

The following list are apps that are currently in my “Cant live without” category.  If you are interested in finding out more about any of the listed apps on my list you can visit the (LINK) Tech Geek and More page (http://www NULL.appbrain NULL.com/user/TechGeekandMoreTablet/htc-evo-4g) on the AppBrain market where my updated list includes reviews and QR codes you can use to download any of the apps.

As of Jan 8, 2012

Phone: HTC Evo 4G
81 total, 74 free (90%), 8 paid (9%)
