Verizon Wireless is continuing with its weekly Android app recommendations, and this time the theme is “DROID does competition.” In that sense, their choice of apps is kinda weird, to say the least — you’ll see what I’m talking about from the list below:

  • Skype mobile – the idea is that you could share a victory with friends and family by calling them for free or next to nothing with Skype.
  • Buddy Runner – the personal trainer app that allows users to track workouts and record routes, distances, times and pace. There’s also an option to share your achievements with the world via Facebook and Twitter. Plus, let’s not forget the audio feedback of workout progress that apparently makes it easy to improve training.
  • Nintaii – The 100-level game increases “patience, perseverance and/or endurance” through a brain-twisting puzzles. The price is $2.99.
  • What the Doodle!? – A $1.50 draw-guess game that pits you against other people in a real-time doodle duel.
  • WoW Droid Armory – A free app that allows you to search the database for characters and add character widgets to the homescreen of your MOTO DROID smartphone.

At the end of the press release, Verizon reminds us they’re offering the Motorola Droid for $199.99 on a two-year contract…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
