I’m continuing to bring my Xoom experience up to par with the variety of apps on my existing iPhone 3GS

A word on apps:   As I’ve mentioned, not all Phone apps work nicely on the Xoom.  I found a forum thread with a list of apps people have running under Honeycomb (Android v.3.0.)

I’ve grabbed a few more free apps and purchased several others…

Widgetsoid (free): A widget that gives you easier control over Bluetooth, Volume, Wifi, Brightness, Battery Life

Trillian ($4.99): I have been a very long time Trillian Instant Messenger user- multiple IM networks, multiple devices & OSes: Windows, Mac, IOS, & Android.

Beautiful Widgets (1.99 Euro): Weather app that hooks into AccuWeather…tons of nice skins, awesome weather icons and animations

Dolphine Browser HD (free): Another web browser, superior to the OS browser. I’m still looking forward to Firefox though.

Xmarks Premium (free app, but pay service): I’ve been using Xmarks since before it went pay, but it’s very worth the yearly subscription to sync my bookmarks across 3 desktop work PCs, my laptop, home desktop, iPhone, and the Xoom.

Angry Birds (Free): Yes, I gave in and downloaded both the regular and Seasons.  Wow, it looks really good on a 10.1″ screen.

CNN (free): Pretty cool to have streaming archived and live video feeds plus news galore.

Pulse (free): A very nice RSS news reader.   It now allows hooks into Google Reader, which is my primary news reader via Safari on the iPhone.   Read articles are marked read on my Google account, so I get the same view on the iPhone.

Google Sky (free): Very cool view of the night sky.

Astro (free): You really need a file viewer. It lets you browse the storage area of an Android device.

Navigation (free):  Google voice based GPS app.  I only just discovered this. We’ll try it out this afternoon in the car, although Steven already has it on his Droid X.

System Panel ($2.99): Manage your resources and apps, memory, utilization, kill running services/apps, etc.

Winamp (free):  What can I say…WinAmp has been around since the dawn of time, or see it seems.  It really whips the lama’s ass!  I’ve got my 70′s playlist pumping out now, while Airsync corrects a sync problem yesterday.

HeyTell (free):  Walkie-Talkie like voice messaging, cross platform with Android and IOS.

AK NotePad (free): I needed a note taking app and Steven has this on his Droid X

Matrix II Reloaded (free): What can I say, I wanted to see what Matrix streaming ‘code’ looked like on the Xoom!

Amazon MP3 (free): This should be the easiest way to buy music, but I haven’t tested it yet.

Kindle for Android (free): I only own Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol and I read that on my iPhone,
