Thanks for this! I used to use tripit for iOS and it works pretty decently. For free it's a good deal.

For some reason Market says that this app is not compatible with my Samsung GT-I9003L because "This item cannot be installed in your device's country."

Is this a bug? The graph for the app shows a huge dip in number of installations recently, maybe this has something to do with it?

For 10 cents each, they're all worth it. Looks like it's going to be 10 apps a day for 10 days, there's an ad at the top of the main Market page.

Nice way to spend :10bux:.

I was just coming here to mention the Market deal. At $.10 a piece, there's almost no reason not to try them all. I hope this becomes a regular Steam-style thing, not just a one-off.

I assume any stylus that is Capacitive can be used, I know Best buy has some, however, never actually USING one I can't say for sure, but they /should/ work.

I got a few of the $.10 apps from Amazon for free, but I'm getting them again through the Market. Apps seem to get updated sooner there so for a dime each, why not?

Edit: poo poo. I accidentally uninstalled Endomondo Sports Tracker PRO and got a cancellation notice. I tried to reinstall it but it's telling I haven't purchased it yet. I get this message on my EVO 3D and TouchPad. When I got on the website it still shows as purchased and I try to push it out but neither device downloads it. I'm concerned that I may have lost the chance to get that for $.10, drat it.

Are Android apps tied to an account? A lot of these apps would be more useful on a phone than my tablet but I'm stuck on a lovely Eris that's trapped on 2.1, and I was hoping to buy these apps while they're cheap and then install them on my new phone once I get that in the spring.

This is awesome but ten days of 5-10 separate 10 cent transactions is going to be a pain in the rear end. They really need a multiple-item cart function.

Crisis averted, the canceled transaction cleared and I was able to repurchase and reinstall the app.

Since the games thread doesn't seem to exist anymore, I'll ask here. Does anyone know of an anagram game that works like Yahoo's web version of Text Twist, or iOS's Word Warp? I found something called TextTwist 2 and at least with the demo version, you can only input so many words of a given length, e.g. 6 3-letter words. Also, the words aren't sorted alphabetically, which makes things a bit harder.

So, I'm going to be getting a Galaxy Nexus whenever the gently caress it comes out, but I've got my current Thunderbolt rooted. I've got Titanium Backup (paid for), but I didn't purchase it through the Market -- I got a .txt file on my SD with it that acts as the license key. How will this work with the GNex if it doesn't have any removable storage?

Save it to your computer from your old phone, then push it up to the GNex via MTP.

You can still transfer files, it just works differently.

Can't, and it's become the bane of my existance on my phone. I'm currently in the process of going through the apps that I actually like and use that I've gotten free and buying them from the android market so that I can remove the amazon store from my phone.

You can goto the amazon website ( http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=sa_menu_mas2?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011 ) click buy. It will buy it without sending it to your phone. But you will get the message that you have a new app for download.

There's no official way to do either of these. The Appstore is a goddamn pain in the rear end and I hope Kindle Fire buyers complain about it until it gets fixed.

But you can only buy them if your current device can run them, which is pretty lovely (for instance, I'm pretty sure I'm getting something that can run Asphalt 6 for Christmas, but my phone can't run it so I can't buy it). It's gotta be worse for people on stuff like an N1 waiting for Christmas. Is there a workaround for that?

Also, on the note of picking everything up, get the coloring book app; down the road you're bound to run into a kid who needs distracting.

Wasn't Soundhound supposed to start charging a few cents to identify each song? I think that was their original plan earlier this year, but decided to postpone it until January 2012 or something. This paid version presumably will never charge.

The official app kept crashing on me, so I tried out gReader Pro and it seems like a pretty good app. I was actually about to buy it a long time ago, but Google released their Official app that day so I didn't at that time.
