Dolphin browser is just a nice internet browser that seems to be the current best. MX plays videos that you put on your phone, or download or torrent.

Do you have flash installed yet?

My Droid-X is filled to the brim with apps, music, and vids. Here are some good ones, ALL FREE:

File Management: Astro & File Expert. Both good programs to move/rename/delete/etc. if you store a bunch of files, vids, pics, music, on your phone.

Office: QuickOffice & OfficeSuite Pro (Word, Xcel, etc.)

Fitness/Nutrition: MyFitnessPal is awesome. Amazingly complete food diary, and it calculates everything for you, website to track trends, etc.

Ulysse Speedometer: Works by GPS, you can tell how accurate your speedo is, especially if you've changed tire sizes, etc. Great way to see if your vehicle speedo is actually what you're going or if you need to do a mental calculation to avoid speeding. Also a real cool "HUD" mode where you put it on your dash at night and it shows a big digital readout of your speed on your windshield.

Casino Games: Strip Blackjack & Strip Poker, are awesome time wasters. Chick pics slowly undress everytime you knock down her $100 bank. Each one has a half-dozen girls, and there are three Strip Poker editions (called "Fan Edition").

Racing Games: NFS Shift is a good time waster. I also have the following racing games I haven't tried yet: Drag Racing, Race Pilot, Raging Thunder, & Sky Warrior.

Wallpapers: Flikie & Zedge. I have like 900 pics rotating on my background, just downloaded from those two apps. It's actually real fun just searching through their catalogs. Cars, Planes, Military, Ships, Guns, Chicks, Fantasy/SciFi Art, Landscapes/Cityscapes, Computer Grfx, etc. Use the Wallpaper Rotator app too.

Music: Pandora (obviously), Shazam (ID songs you hear when you're out with friends at bars/clubs/restaurants). PowerAmp is one of the best music players you can get, LOVE IT, especially if you use your Android as an "iPod".

Browser: Dolphin HD is a great browser with a bunch of features. Plus you can lock it down to do "Desktop View" only, for websites that you DON'T want your phone to divert to mobile versions. VERY USEFUL, when a mobile website just doesn't cut it. Firefox also makes an Android version, if you're a big FF user.

And of course depending on what online services you use, grab your personal bank's app (Chase, Wells, etc.) And: Schwab, Yahoo Finance, Amazon, NewEgg, eBay, HBO Go (watch some HBO episodes), DirecTV (from your phone, schedule your DVR to record shows!), IMDb, Moviefone, Fandango, Yelp, YouTube, DropBox, Amazon Kindle, Living Social, Groupon, GoDaddy, Zillow, etc.

Google Play Music is cool if you have a lot of music on your home computer and you want to listen to it on the go. You have room for 20k songs and I think I've put up about 14k.

So it just uses your home PC as a music "mini-cloud" and streams it to your Droid?

Oh nice. I should see if DropBox can do that. I assume there's no risk of them busting you for having a ton of pirated music? Does it check validity or copyrights?

I like these:

Gasbuddy - keeps track of fuel prices at gas stations. Really helpful if you travel a lot.

Weatherbug - weather, duh

RadarNow - moving weather radar - good for trying to avoid microbursts

Mint.com - keeping track of all your finances, spending, investments, budgets, etc.

the best game sense angry birds is called super stickman golf! i too have the galexy 2s and i was hooked on this game for weeks!!! (it was a sad day when i beat the whole game). its free, it is a larger file but im my opinion its the best game out there and super addicting! it has over 2 dozen courses, and a grip ton of achievements you have to beat. get a golden star on every single hole and you make tiger woods look like a biznitch! you gotta try it!
weatherbug, solar charger, words free, hanging with friends (hangman), pandora, telenav and a few others i think.
