Football League Official Clubs' App
If you need up-to-date stats from the Football League, minute-by-minute text commentary on match days, plus news of your team and their opponents, this is the app to get.
I realise that almost all of you don’t need such a thing, but since the app has long been a fixture on my home screen I feel I owe it a link.

Paperboy
Paperboy is a mobile application which brings the benefits of digital media to printed media. Using the paperboy application, you snap a picture of a page in a magazine or newspaper. Our image recognition technology identifies the page, and you get the ability to share the page with friends, to explore related contents and remember the page in your personal archive.
A bridge between print and digital, no robot barf required.
Lemon
A web-based receipt tracking service that lets you mail in online receipts or snap a pic of a paper receipt with an Android, Blackberry or iOS device.

Vlingo
Simply speak to Vlingo and it will help you get more done, faster and easier than before. Try saying “Text John; What’s up?” or “find italian restaurants” or even “update Facebook; Vlingo rocks!”

Text by Voice
Text by Voice allows you to safely text while you drive entirely through voice. There’s no need to touch or look at the screen at all. Text by Voice will automatically read incoming text messages aloud and give you a chance to respond.
A useful addition to the inbuilt Voice Actions on Android.
TuneIn
TuneIn gives you access to over 50,000 of the world’s radio stations so you can find and listen to unlimited music, sports and talk radio.
Listen on the web, or via an app for pretty much every mobile platform you can think of. The ‘pro’ versions also let you pause, rewind and record live radio.
DroidSheep
A Firesheep-style app for Android, for hijacking the sessions of other users on a network who are logged in to pretty much any site that uses cookies.
I’m not suggesting you use DroidSheep or apps like it; rather that you should assume someone else is whenever you’re using an open WiFi hotspot. The solution? Use a VPN or SSH SOCKS proxy.
Cleverbot App
Chat to a bot about anything and everything. On Android, you can “speak it” out loud, and hear its voice in reply.
This is either delightful or depressing. Possibly both.

Glassboard
Glassboard is for sharing privately with groups.
On your iOS, Android or WP7 device. Made by Brent “NetNewsWire” Simmons and friends. Interesting that they’ve made it mobile-only.
Connectbot
ConnectBot is a Secure Shell client for the Android platform. Its ultimate goal is to create a secure connection through which you can use a shell on a remote machine and transfer files back and forth to your phone.
