Next to being a big fan of HTC Phones (Android and Windows Mobile). I also highly enjoy using a phone I recently received called the Motorola Milestone. It has been some time now and the Motorola Milestone has finally been rooted. You can find instructions on rooting your phone at the following URL:

Some reasons that would make you want to root your phone:

• Screenshots of your ‘desktop’
• Wifi tethering
• Push or remove new APK files to your system partition

And there is a lot more but maybe I will go into detail later on.

Enjoy the root for now, and sorry for going a little bit off topic on this blog. Hope you don’t mind!

The Android market is slowly become more of a mess because of the sheer amount of android applications uploaded to it every month. If you are browsing through the latest additions you often find a lot of junk and it’s often hard to even understand what this Android app you are looking at does. Though they these Android applications are free, they are often also just a complete waste of your time.

The real high quality applications that also happen to be free are hard to find in the Android Market, especially for new users (like the lucky HTC Hero Sprint owners for instance!). Because it’s hard to find and hard to understand what certain applications do we made a list of a few apps that you really don’t want to pass on. If you are looking for Android Games go here.

GDocs for google Android

If you are using an Android device I’m sure you also own a google mail account, if you don’t you are obviously missing out on the amazing google account integration of the Android operating system.

If you have a google account I’m sure you have seen, heard or toyed around with goole documents. Google documents allows you to store your documents online and edit them from everywhere around the world on your Android phone.

GDocs allows you to edit these documents from anywhere you are in the world while using your Android phone to do the editing. GDocs is an amazing piece of software and it’s great to touch your documents up, find some information or do anything else with your stored documents.

Palringo for Google Android

Many Android users out there love to use their device to chat with friends and or family. I’ll don’t go around the bush on this one, if you are looking for an instant messenger client for Android you have to get Palringo. Palringo makes the default IM client look like the first ICQ client ever released. Palringo supports nearly every messaging protocol that excists:

• Google Talk
• AIM
• Facebook
• Yahoo
• MSN
• ICQ
• iChat
• Jabber
• And many more but you will find out when you use this application

Because Palringo supports all these protocols it makes it the best Android application for IM by far. It’s just very convenient to have everyone in one package and always use the same application for a certain task. If you have Palringo open you receive system notifications if you get a message and because we used it often while traveling (lose 3G network quite often) we have noticed that it works great on the Edge and even GRPS networks. To find Palringo just search for it in the android market.

These 2 free applications for Android devices are just amazing, be sure to at the very least try them out!
