Have you tried "Our Groceries"?
Thanks for the reply, but if you've tried HandyShopper, you would know that it's much more than a shopping app, it's basically a (powerful) generic database/listing app by itself.
Cheers.

Have you tried "Our Groceries"?
HandyShopper is one of the few killer apps that keeps me using PalmOS. I traded up my Treo 650 for a Centro recently, rather than an Android or WebOS phone because of this app. Last I read, he was kind of a ____ about porting it though. He used to have some snippity comment about "it's only for PalmOS and Windows, don't even ask about other PDAs" or something to that effect. Maybe he's since changed his mind.Anybody interested in starting a petition and a pool of fund to and for Chris Anto's (The HandyShopper Wiki : HomePage) to develop HandyShopper for Android...?

I'd have bought another Treo on ebay and pitched my droid if it weren't for these 4 apps.
I'd never heard of "gesture search", or "google gesture", or whatever it actually is named,,, until just now on this thread. I'll look at it. MobileWrite is kinda strange on the droid, but useful. The developer sure isn't an old-time Palmy, but I'm hoping he'll make some changes or options so it can be configured like the Visors, Pilots, Tungstens, and Clie's used to be.
It seems like Google is leaning toward voice recognition over handwriting recognition in Android, but I'd argue that VR shouldn't (and can't) take the place of HR. Still these devices are being sold (and bought) as phones, as opposed to PDAs. Steve Jobs still faces little competition in many respects.
What's interesting to me is that I was a die-hard MobileWrite fan, having come from a Treo, until I discovered Swype. I swear, the day I discovered that, probably 2-3 months ago, I never used Mobile Write again. And I've only used the pull-out keyboard on my Moto Droid once.
Swype is hands-down the beat app on Android. Maybe *someday* it'll get out of beta.
where can I get swype?
Yes! Swype has made my device significantly more "user-friendly". I do not miss Graffiti (either 1 or 2) any more. I don't know how long the beta will last, but I will be in a serious funk if it expires before I can buy the final product. (Swype developers, please don't do that to me!)Swype is hands-down the beat app on Android. Maybe *someday* it'll get out of beta.
Did that possibly get updated in the 2.1 OS version? Is there any hope of Google doing it right, or must I continue to hope some good third-party app solves these issue for them?
I have just been stubborn re DOGHave you tried Docs to Go for your spreadsheet and text files? The free version will read Excel spreadsheets, Word docs, Powerpoint presentations, etc. The paid version will let you write those types of files.
OMG (G) !! Thank you so much - TWICE !! I didn't read the swype faqs etc - I found that I was using the screen KB - native or swype and seldom using the physical keyboard. Actually the only time was to use arrow keys / copy etc and I almost always messed up by hitting some wrong key or something !
Pimlico's DateBk+ -- I had it on my Treo.
Pimilco told me they're working on porting Pimlical (replacement for DateBk+) to Android and hope to have it out by the end of 1st quarter 2010. I'm eagerly awaiting it
