Apparently it even works on Linux. I'm not sure how to describe it (plus I'm late for work!). Check it out, you'll love it.

I just found one called Screebl. It basically sets your phone's screen timeout to the minimum and keeps the screen on depending on how you hold it. It is customizable as to the angle. Works really well.

Hopefully it will same some battery power. Search the market for Screebl if you want to try it. It is free.

Word is it "made it to the final round of the Android Developer Challenge 2"...

Im still deciding but looks promising.

Does anyone know if there is an app to help me decide what app I want?

Yes haha, the app will also cook for you, and drive you home when you are drunk! I used this last week, all you have to do is put your phone underwater for a few minutes and then search for most epic of all time times the square root of infinity. This app saved me from a dui and cooked me chicken tender when I got home! Only problem is, the app it decides you want is itself, so its useless. Deleting.
