Not sure about widgetpack, since it comes with sense...does it still work?
Androidmate - since froyo has built in apps2sd, and most people like advanced task killer, it really only is useful fro one of them, no?

you know, i guess i never thought bout htc sense...nor have i played w/ 1 so not sure bout widgetpack and your right bout androidmate...(believe you need to be rooted) so if thats the case then most will run froyo, so if it does have the build in apps2sd then you might as well just install astro file manager.

but i did read sumthing the other week bout how its not "good" on android to use a task manager to "kill all apps" as it is w/ win mobile...i'll try to find the link on that.

so no need to add em to your post, no need to get it mixed in w/ the more sensable apps

EDIT: ok here is the link that i found explaining why its not much a good idea to use task killer, very interesting as we are all used to using 1

android mate is an easy apk back up as well, for those who don't like searching through the file explorer.

What about Notes in WM? How can they be converted, and is there a similar program in Android? Some of my most important data is in Notes, and to manually re-type it would be a difficult issue to deal with

I doubt there is a similar program, and not to be rude, but I don't see why anyone would put important data in Notes.

There are, however, better programs. I love Color Note for android. It takes great notes, you can change the color of the notes, you can have checked list items (great for shopping), and it's fast. Oh, and free.

+1 for colored note, also with colored note you can make your notes Widgets on the home screens.

Haha, yeah. Color Note is one of those Android apps where I'm like "This is too awesome...why is it free?"
