Apps you're dying to have?

I was wondering what upcoming announced (and a bit unannounced) apps you guys are looking forward to have?
For me all I care about right now is:
Trillian for Android
WhatsApp for Android
and hopefully a real Windows Live Messenger app. One that allow file transfers like on WinMo/BB and I can atleast change my avatar.

Grindr.
10char

It's a game I can't live without on the iPod - Jabeh.

Skype! Skype! Skype!

I'd love to have a WhatTheFont application on my Android phone. There is a version for iPhone (of course ).

I'd like to have a service like microsoft myphone

MyBackup Pro does that, I think.

A real WLM app would be godlike.
Trillian.
Skype usable on Wifi and 3G on any network.
Some more games.

NS Train time table thats stored on the device instead of the net.(Roaming 3G is a tad too expensive for me =P)
STEAM Community (Too bad this will probably never happen)
And finally something thats not really an app, Hotmail Live ActiveSync.

Tilt to live

Would be nice if one big company would come out with an Android app before an Iphone app.....Android so much better than apple...oh well Android still in its infancy.....

Is it too much to ask for a proper port for angry birds on the Android? Doodle Jump's port was hilariously bad.

I guess Skype / WhatsApp is pretty good. helps me and my girlfriend saves some money.
but basically anything that needs to be paid on the market, i wants it. not supported in my country for purchases yet ):

Well, I got the WhatsApp Beta. So I can kinda like cross that off. Too bad I only got like 6 friends that use it

Easy root as soon as I manually updated to Froyo I went to the marketplace and it was pulled. Now I am stuck with a non-rooted phone :\

Patapon -like Game in Android ?

I dont have a PSP but way back this is one of the reasons I so wanted to buy a PSP..
Its sorta' rythm game where you must immitate the sound by tapping corresponding keys- when you do it successfully it makes your little characters do something to move on in the level you are in.. (err sorry for my very vague explanation)..
but im sure the official patapon website or even youtube would help explain it better..
I think the developers of Patapon is Sony themselves, right? si i dont think theres any chance to have Patapon to Android- but at least something similar?

This will never happen. Games might be ported by the developers to Android. But you won't be able to emulate ios in Android.

i wish would could do that, cause i wanna play me some unicorn attack. XD

That will never happen. Thats like going to a Chevy dealer and asking to buy a Mustang.

How so? They got the Android OS working on WM devices? Why is it so improbable to run iOS on Android? How about some details?

android is open source, so its possible to add drivers etc and change the kernel etc.
winmo and ios are closed source, so there is no possibility to change the code/add drivers etc.

I guess that means we're gonna be getting iOS soon cause my buddy just bought a Mustang from a Chevy dealer last week. No joke.

iOS has been on Android for a while now. That's how we got Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds. Now Apple doesn't have **** on us.

MAC osx isn't open source yet I still have it dual booted on my pc so that can't mean everything.
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible. This Droid Does More.

How do we get emulators for playstation, gba, snes, ps2 etc. Were theses all open source. If we can emulate consoles then why not emulate iphone games.

Ipad can do it, why not the transformer?

Ok the other day my friends came over with his ipad and his iphone and showed me how he could play mario 64 on his ipad and use his iphone as a controller. Now why can't we do that with an android tablet ( tf ) and a android phone (g2x)? If so anyone know how?

No need fpr such set up we can use a ps3 controller or xb controller . Way better qith phisical buttons than touch screen

Yeah but I don't wana carry around a ps3 or wii controller. I always have my phone. Its more convenient.

Feel free to go and develop software to do this - I don't think anyone is stopping you.

it was a good point and not a super complaint.. don't listen to the haters, but good luck finding a dev for it!

It shouldn't actually be too tough to do. I could see someone building an "EventAgent" app, that lets you draw buttons on the screen to use any layout you want (even superimpose it over an image of a controller, like some desktop apps). Combine that with orientation-sensor support, and then just figure out how to beam the controls to the tablet.

have you tried an app called blueputdroid I believe, Ill link in just a mo
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid&feature=search_result
It requires root, but the ipadrequires root/jailbreak to even play emulators from what Ive heard, Ive tried it myself using fpse and a couple of the yongzh emulators and it works great, although no multitouch yet.

I would be interested in this as well.

Hey hey calm down there. I love my android to death and will always stay true. I just wanted to see if there was something out there for android so I could have something else to throw in his face on how much better android is.

These arguments fall upon the deaf ears of fanboys. It goes both ways. There are plenty of Android die-hards (myself included) who don't want to hear any arguments against the ecosystem they love.
The only rational arguments come from a usability or ideological standpoint. Here are two examples:
Ideological - I don't believe a manufacturer should have any control over what software I put on or what I do with my device. My device is a tool, which should conform to my needs, not the other way around.
Usability - I only use this device for these three tasks, and since the alternative does not have support/apps for these particular tasks I prefer them to the competition.
If you are rationally choosing your ecosystem, the only logical arguments fall under these two categories. Otherwise you're simply buying into a brand, and thus you can't make any logical arguments.

Indeed....and that would fall under a fallacy of bandwagon.

Yeah if you wanna measure penises, using a PS3 controller or Xbox 360 controller is much more impressive.

If your gonna use a touch screen, why not the built in one on the tablet? I use the on screen controls for flights and stuff. Guy next to me had a DSi playing Mario which died mid flight. I was grinding my party in FF7 for 3 hours. He was impressed.
What about HDMI out running FPse PSx and a PS3 gamepad... that impresses my peeps.

OUYA ..A new kind of Video Game based on android

Has anyone heard about this ...?? A group of people have started the project and also developed the prototype of a new kind of video game which is based on android open source.... It comes with a controller and can be hooked up to a TV. As its open source ...developers can program and make new games....And hackers can even MOD it..
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console
Watch the video....

Looks great. But imagine those power in our phone that would be awesome!!!

Yeah actually....Our phone would be just like an X-box or a Playstation ....

Totally unrelated to XPlay.

looking good'
but i prefer a phone-game console . like our xperia play . maybe should wait for ZTE ...

i think it will be a great step for indie devs to port to consoles, but i do love my play and wont get rid of it till another phone with a game pad comes out lol

Moved to General forum.
