Game

HeavenHell: Another fun game to play when you're bored with everything else. This time you get to fight evil. The goal of the game is to throw every devil out of the screen. By tapping the angels and devils you change them into squares and circles. With 4 different worlds and 80 levels you will play this game for a long time. So, don't wait any longer. Beat that devil's butt. Here's the link. From the phone search for :heavenhell" and install.

Mobile security app

avast! Mobile Security: These days phones are more exposed than ever to viruses and malware. This app will help you protect your device against these threats. It provides a lot of features to protect a phone: antivirus, privacy report, task manager, web shield, even a battery save option. As always the best way to protect yourself from bad apps is to always install apps from the Market and always read the reviews and find out what other people have to say about it ( and click on the review tab, not just read the 2-3 ones they show on the main page). Here's the link. From the phone search for "avast!" and install.

March Madness app

NCAA March Madness Live: With March Madness approaching this is the app to have if you're into college basketball. The app allows you to check scores, fill out and follow your bracket, get game alerts and listen to live game radio. The app also has a paid feature that allows you to watch all 67 games live on your phone. The price for that is $3.99 for all 67 games. The developers of this app tested it on some of the newer devices (the live video part), but it might work on older ones (if you have a 3G phone you might want to try it over Wi-Fi). Just read the reviews if you want to know for sure if it works on your phone. My guess is that 4G phones are fine. Again, the rest of the app should work on all phones, is just the live video that might lag on older phones. Here's the link. From the phone search for "NCAA March Madness" and install.

Speed trap app

Trapster: This is an app that alerts you as you approach speed traps, red lights/speed cameras, accidents and other road hazards. This app has over 15 million users worldwide. The app only alerts you of traps on your path of traffic, which eliminates unnecessary alerts. The alerts are updated by the users so you always have the latest data. You can add data too. It's easy. Back when I lived in Romania we used to flash our lights at each other. I guess times changed, right? Here's the link. From the phone search for "trapster" and install. Happy motoring!

Game

Tetris: This is a game that doesn't need a lot of introduction. It's one of the classics and we all enjoyed playing it when we were kids. Very simple, but pretty addictive, it will keep you playing for a long time, trying to beat your record. Here's the link. From the phone search for "tetris" and install.

Location sharing app

Glympse: This app allows you to stay in touch with your friends and share your location with them. It helps a lot when you're out in town and you want to get together with your friends on a short notice. All you have to do is send a Glympse to anyone via email, SMS, Facebook, or Twitter. Your location is only shared for the duration you specify and then stops. No sign-up needed. So let your friends you'll be at "Senor Frogs" for the next half an hour and then let them know when you get to the mall so they can join you. Very simple. Here's the link. From the phone search for "glympse" and install.
