I downloaded and install this, but for some reason I can't figure out how to use it. It doesn't show as an available app, but it does in the manage app area for me to uninstall it.

How do I get this to work?

You need to go into system Settings>Language & Keyboards and check the box to enable Swpe. When you tap a text box to bring up the keyboard, if the stock keyboard comes up, long-press on the text box and tap "Input method" then select Swype.

AK Notepad- Easy, simple notepad app, the best one in my opinion

AnyCut
- Lets you make a shortcut out of pretty much anything, i.e, phone contact, txt contact etc..

Astro File Manager- Pretty self explanatory, allows you to manage your file, windows type style

G-Backup Full (Paid)- Free version is a trial, it was so good i actually bought it, backs up all your sms/mms type of messages to your gmail account

I Music- http://www.greencode.me/ Allows you to download music directly to your Droid, one of the BEST reasons to own a Droid/Android phone in my opinion ( will post link to where to get after work )

Meebo IM- Have all your IM accounts in one spot , i.e AIM, Facebook, Myspace etc..

MyBackup- Backs up all your contact to your gmail account

RingDroid- edit/cut parts of your favorite songs and allows you to set them as Ringtone or Notification, used in conjunction with Imusic and BAM! Iphone what!?

ShopSavvy- Awesome Barcode Scanner

SportsTap- If your into sports, this is the app to keep you updated on all sports related news

Taskiller- Apps slowing things down? Get this to free up space, full version is completely free, even has a nice choice of a small widget or large widget that allows one button app kills!

Tip Calc - Very cool tip calculator with ability to round up and split among friends.

Bubble - Very impressive level for your phone... Basically turns your phone into a construction level.

Shazam - I know it has been said before, but this app is incredible! It really works to identify songs. Ever have a song that you know what it is and can't remember the name? Ever argue with friends about who did a particular song? Get this!

Evernote - I have yet to use it, but hear some good things. Actually Chris Hardwick and Mike Shinoda discussed (Nerdist Podcast) how cool the app was to organize their lives... You can take notes and pics and whatnot and store at certain GPS locations...

When is Swype hitting the market?

According to someone in the Eris forum who contacted them, it's not. They are betting the bank on OEM.

I can't believe you bunch of slackers are so apolitical <chuckle>.

How about Congress? How about every law that's being worked on? Every law that's been passed in reverse chronological order (although I don't know how far back it goes). Every Congressperson's contact information. Etc. To me, this could the most useful app in the free world <g>.

Bug Me is a cute sticky notes.

Air Traffic Control Status US if you fly a lot. Keeps widget up to date with current ground stops, delays, etc at US airports.

BART Rider for San Francisco BART system provides up to date live schedule.

Kitchen Timer for cooking. Good count down timer.

They've released a lite/free version of the Air Traffic Control application.
