Q. I work in the Newport News/Virginia Beach area. What are the must_have android apps for taxi drivers in my area?
A. HopStop (Free)
Those of you who donât live in a city, this wonât be an app for you, but those of you in New York City or other cities full of complicated subway and bus routes, HopStop is one of our favorite services. The Android app (m.hopstop.com works as well), but itâs the most accurate subway and bus navigation system weâve used. You do have to know the address of your location, but HopStop does a good job guiding you to more generic locations like an intersection, which some services struggle with. It also maps out how long it will take you to walk around, features a lot of flexible options to modify your route, and lets you save routes for the future and view them offline, which is helpful if youâre underground. Give it a try. (The tablet version is coming soon.)
Weather Channel (Free)
This is the weather app youâll find yourself checking before you even crack the blinds in the morning. Besides offering accurate current conditions with extreme detail down to wind speed, humidity and UV index, the Weather Channelâs app offers hourly and 10-day forecasts for planning ahead, plus advanced features like animated weather radar.
Google Voice (Free)
With Google Voice, you get a free number for receiving calls, sending texts, and even receive access to your voicemail and text messages over the Web. With the Android app, you can even keep your true mobile number private by making outgoing calls using your Google Voice number instead. Another handy feature is voicemail transcription, which automatically transcribes your voicemails to text so you can read them like e-mail.
iTriage Mobile Health (Free)
Created by doctors, this app is designed to give users quick and easy access to medical info as well as nearby treatment facilities. With just a few clicks, users can find the nearest medical facility based on need (emergency, urgent care, pharmacy, etc.) and quickly use built-in Google Maps to navigate to the destination. The app also features a symptom-checker, doctor directory, and information about diseases and procedures.
Opera Mini Web Browser (Free)
We loved the drastic speed boost from Opera Mini on the iPhone, and it delivers the same shot of adrenaline on Android. Opera greases the wheels of the Web using special servers that compress pages prior to sending them to your phone. Besides using less bandwidth, pages appear in a fraction of the time, which makes it the go-to browser when you need to know who won the World Series in 1964, the colors of the Estonian flag, or the population of Miami in a flash.
Pulse News (Free)
This free app is a great reader for those who like to get their daily dose of news or gossip on their Android device. Pulse lets users select up to 30 online sources to pull from, and then creates clean, magazine-like pages that feature thumbnail photos and headlines from each source. Most articles or blogs can be easily read within the app, and the sources update in a flash. Itâs the perfect substitute for your morning or evening Internet scan. Add sources like CNN, Gawker, Salon, Wet Paint, MSNBC, and Mashable.

How do I put my android apps onto my SD card?
Q. I have just bought an HTC Desire on T-Mobile (UK) but already it is starting to say 'memory low' and I noticed that there is nothing on my 4GB micro SD card, so all the apps must be on the phone's internal memory. How do I put it all onto the microSD card?
Thanks.
Thanks.
A. You can't use the memory on the SD card as an extension of the phone's internal memory; they are used for different things. Apps only use the phone's internal memory.
To prevent your phone from saying "memory low", uninstall some apps, or when you are done with an app, instead of pressing Home, press Back (that's more likely to cause the app to really exit; if you just press Home the app is more likely to remain running - but a lot depends on the app).
Finally, you could also try installing a Task Killer app and use it to kill programs you aren't using. But task killers are not an ideal solution as they can make your phone act weird if you kill the wrong thing; they also don't really do much to improve performance or save battery life.
P.S. There are some apps like Astro that will let you "back up" other apps to the SD card, but all it is doing is making a copy of the app that you could reinstall later; backing up the app doesn't move it out of the phone's internal memory.
