Android Thoughts: Introducing On Jon's Phone; Follow Me On AppBrain

"AppBrain is a website for discovering Android apps. In addition to providing search and browse functionality, users of Android phones can download the apps they chose by simply clicking an install button on the site. Appbrain then stores the application in an application wishlist. A companion native android app then lets the user efficiently make all the desired changes on the phone."

Ever wonder what's on someone else's phone? Sure, you can grab it and look at the app drawer, but you never quite know what each icon does if you're unfamiliar with it. Thankfully, as AppBrain users know, a recent update now lets you follow users and keep track of what they use - a great way to find out about new apps and finding out what they do. In that spirit, I'm happy to announce a new recurring feature here at Android Thoughts: On Jon's Phone. I'll be taking apps off my list and talking a bit about them - nothing long or complicated, just highlighting apps that users may be interested in. And, if you're on AppBrain already, you can head over to my 88 App strong list and subscribe to follow the list as it changes.
