Ya just open the market app and that's where all the apps are. Search throughout them and see what ya need.

If you'd also like some app suggestions then I'd recommend telling us what you're interested in having/making your phone do. That way we can offer better suggestions than just "cool stuff". :D

Why don't you try doing what everyone else does. Play with it and figure it out. I dunno maybe the icon that says MARKET could be where you find apps? Lol

Or you can read the user manual and learn how to use your cellphone...

When we say Family Friendly the emphasis is usually on Family, but Friendly also applies. Posts like this are unacceptable here, folks. Play nice or play elsewhere. Thanks for your cooperation!

@Uptheirons726 The slot you have your phone number is supposed to be used for your phone's model. Last thing you want is to get a bunch of spam calls/texts/whatever, am I right? If you have a problem changing it or making it stick (it's happened before) then PM an Admin and they'll take care of it for you ASAP.

I'd start with Google Reader, subscribe to CNN or any other RSS out there.
Google My Tracks is cool for keeping track of walking the dogs, taking a bike trip, tracking your drive to work, or taking a hike in the woods.
Angry Birds is a pretty cool game but get's old after playing it for the 1000 time.
Install Twitter and read what your fav celebs are doing. Or add the Facebook app.
Install your banks app, if it's available. or use Mint.com's app.
Install Mileage, it's the best app I found for traking your cars mileage.
If your a techi install TeamViewer. Great for accessing your home PC anywhere.
You'll need a Barcode Scanner <- install it. If you go to Google Shopping if your browser and want to search for something.
Install Picasa Too if you want to access your Picasa account.
SiriusXM is great for streaming music. The Netflix (cracked version - search forum) is great for watching movies.
3 (cubed) is the best music player.

Fantastic suggestions for most of them, supercaliber64, and kudos for providing as many links as you did! But I'd caution the OP against installing any app that might have important personal financial information without serious password security because you never know if you're going to lose or have your phone stolen.

I'd also suggest installing the Amazon App Store app if you can. The free paid app every day is very tempting. :D

I concur with both your posts here Furbearingmammal. With family statement and Amazon app.
