After two weeks, Verizon is returning to “pure” Android app recommendations. I don’t see some specific theme for this week’s app selection, as there are apps from multiple categories. Without further ado, here’s what the Big Red is suggesting you to try out for the weekend:

  • Golf Solitaire – classic card game is available for $2.99.
  • OpenTable – the application that allows you to search for restaurants and see what real customers think about the dishes served. It covers the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Mexico.
  • AP Mobile – which is all about news from more than 1,200 trusted local sources. It addition, it also covers national and international issues.
  • Qik Video Camera – which allows you to take video in real-time and share it with the world via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
  • Diner Dash 2 – legendary action puzzle game could be yours for $4.99.

All of the titles mentioned above are readily available in the Android Market and all work with the Motorola DROID, which is offered by Verizon Wireless for 200 bucks on a contract.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
