Evernote
Free Version: 1.3 Evernote Corporation
The notes that you take with the Ever- note app can be accessed from both your Android device and your computer. You can quickly add a text note, audio note, photo snapshot, or file upload to your library from any of your devices. One particularly cool feature is Notes Nearby, which lets you find notes that were written near your current GPS location. I used this at a recent wine tasting event, and when I went back to the liquor store a few weeks later, I found my notes and exactly what I was looking for. Likewise, if you have a meeting in a particular conference room, you can use this feature to find your action items.
aContacts
Free Version: 1.3.3 Yermek Zhumagulov
Most phones come with a decent standard address book for managing your contacts. However, the aContacts app takes contact management to another level by providing a picture-oriented interface, separate call settings for each contact, and multiple ways to connect to your contacts. One of the nice features of this app is how it takes ad- vantage of Android’s multitasking ability and “pops up” other apps to fulfill your requests. aContacts is a versatile way to store your contacts and access them quickly.
Phonebook
Free Lite version Version: 1.0.6 Voxmobili SA / Online
If you are looking for an app that’s similar to the standard Contacts that comes with Android-based phones, you can’t go wrong with Phonebook. It is oriented more toward phone con- tacts than social networks, so if you simply want to add your friends to a phonebook dialer, this is an excellent choice. In fact, I found this app so use- ful and intuitive that I created a short- cut and put it on my main screen to use as my phone dialer. There may be other apps that do more, but this one is simple, clean, and keeps your personal phonebook right at your fingertips.
AndExplorer
Free Version: 1.3 Lysesoft
When you need to quickly find a file on your device, this is a great app to have. You can explore the SD card or the device directories. You can also rename files, create directories, delete files, copy and paste files, and select your sort order. This allows you to browse your file systems just as you would on your desktop computer. The AndExplorer app also provides Zip, Gzip, and Tar uncompressing capabilities for when someone sends you a packaged file or set of files.
AndFTP
Free Version: 1.11 Lysesoft
This tool enables you to connect to FTP servers. It comes with both a device file browser and an FTP file browser, and pro- vides download and upload features with resume support. You can use the device menu to rename, delete, copy, set permis- sions, and create folders. The AndFTP app provides support for FTP (File Transfer Protocol), SFTP (SSH’s Secure File Transfer Protocol), and FTPS (Explicit FTP over TLS/SSL).
Teradesk Mobile
Free Version: 1.5 Teradesk e-Storage Systems
Teradesk distinguishes itself through its flexibility, utility, and ease of use. Being a virtual file storage and remote file access tool, Teradesk uses secure encryption to transfer files to and from your Android device, and will automatically resume if your file transfer is interrupted. This app can process file transfers in the background while you work on something else. Teradesk can access your files that are on a server or device you point to, or that are up in the “cloud” of servers that Teradesk stores your virtual disk on.
