Android Apps Provide Stiff Competition for iPhone Apps

The world has gone iPhone crazy – or has it? Now that Android is here with phones like the T-Mobile G-1 with Google and the Samsung Moment with Google, iPhone is getting some stiff competition. Android apps prove to be highly inventive, entirely useful, and most of them have a bit of humor thrown in for extra fun. There are lots of Android apps that can easily give iPhone apps a run for their money. Check out these innovative and quirky Android apps.

DrunkBlocker: Calling someone in the midst of an alcohol-induced stage is never a good idea. If you happen to be one of those people who can’t help drunk-dialing, then you need to get the DrunkBlocker app. When you’ve been drinking, DrunkBlocker will prevent you from dialing your phone. By entering the time at the start of an evening, the time when you will likely be sober again, and a list of numbers that should be avoided, drunk-dialing will simply become a thing of the past.

Softrace: Yearning for a little competition? The Softrace app allows a user to meet other like-minded users online, plan a physical race or competition, and challenge each other in real-time. If you want to get rid of some physical aggression, this GPS based Softrace app is for you.

Carrr Matey: “Ingenious” is the best way to describe this app. If you frequently forget where you have parked your car, then you can’t live another day without this app. Carrr Matey will help you find your car by using Google Maps and a compass.

Android apps boast the innovation of everyone’s favorite search engine, the no-walls collaboration of open source and the reliability of a company that’s scrappy enough to provide stiff competition to Apple, Microsoft and all the other big boys of mobile computing. So, if you are looking for a smartphone alternative to the BlackBerry or a Palm smartphone, give the Android apps a shot. You might like them.
