Notable Motorola Droid X Applications

Posted on 05 March 2011

The abilities of today’s smart phones are nearly mind-boggling, and none more so than the powerful and popular Motorola Droid X. When you take a look at the Android app marketplace, you’ll see thousands of different applications that could be use by your Droid X. From games to music players, bar code scanners to GPS functioning maps, your phone can become anything you need it to be. With so many apps available, finding the best is a daunting task. Within this article, we’ll go over some of the must have apps available for your phone.

Mototorch LED is a phenomenal little flashlight app that is only available for Droid phones. Using your phone’s camera flash bulb, the application will turn your cell phone into an extremely bright and effective flashlight. There are also settings that will allow you to turn on a strobe effect, complete with adjustable speeds. Perhaps the neatest feature, however, is the ability to send Morse code with the LED light. Simply type in a message and the phone will convert it to Morse code and blink out your message. Any Motorola Droid X case will allow for the location of your Droids camera, so it won’t interfere with the illumination that Mototorch LED provides.

Juice Defender is a lifesaver-literally. One of the first things you’ll notice about your Droid is that it can really lose battery power quickly. Different processes use the power differently, and some drain energy rapidly. If you aren’t careful, you’ll have a dead battery before you know it. Several Motorola Droid X accessories can help to maintain the battery’s charge, but this app will help to slow the drain by allowing you to set the way that your phone uses power. This app alone can double the amount of life in your Droids battery.

One of the most popular uses for your smart phone is reading. Even with a Motorola Droid X screen protector in place, the crystal-clear screen makes reading a book on your phone as enjoyable as the high-priced readers on the market now. While there are apps for both Kindle and Nook available, Aldiko is easily the best app available for e-books. You can adjust the look and size of the words on screen, and the page turns with either a tap or drag (to help simulate that real-page feel). The program will save your place in any book you read so that you can pick up right where you left off. It has also a great bookcase themed interface, and you can easily build up your collection by downloading hundreds of free books in the public domain and classics like Dickens and Twain. And adding your own books from your computer is as easy as clicking and dragging.

Wikimobile, This name pretty much says all you need to know. Wikipedia is one of the most used websites on the internet, and this app brings it to your Droid. Simple to navigate menus and a search feature helps you circumvent the need to use the mobile browser and makes finding any article on Wikipedia as easy as typing its name. It’s great having access to such an immense collection of information anywhere you are.

Finally, to protect your Droid, the Antivirus app is a good idea. With so many user-created apps being uploaded to the marketplace, you’ll want to make sure your phone doesn’t get any viruses. This simple app will help keep your phone working smoothly for the duration of its life.
