Cool Apps for the HTC Magic

Posted On : Jun-10-2009 | seen (1257) times | Article Word Count : 442 |

The latest smartphone on an increasingly-crowded block, the HTC Magic, developed exclusively for Vodafone, runs on the Google Android operating system, which means that, like the T-mobile G1, it can load third party apps available from the Android Market. If you are still unsure of why this is a good thing, take a look at some of these gems:

Metal Detector: Did you ever dream of going treasure hunting with a metal detector as a child, but never quite got round to getting one? If so,then this is the app for you. It uses the built in magnet inside the HTC magic to turn your phone into a surprisingly effective metal detector.

Barcode Scanner: This cool app allows you to use the camera on the magic to read bar codes and obtain price information off the internet. Perfect if you are wanting to check whether something on offer in a shop is genuinely a good deal, although it does not work on every bar code.

Trap: Along with Snake, Trap is one of the oldest mobile phone games around. The aim of the game is to draw lines inside a box full of bouncing balls, trying to trap the balls inside a smaller and smaller box as time goes on. If a ball hits one of your lines while you are drawing it, though, you lose a life.

The new interface gives this game an immediacy it didnt have before, which can make it dangerously addictive. If you bought a smart phone to help keep up your productivity levels on the move, then you should steer clear of this one!

NRU: This app uses the internal compass in conjuction with the GPS device inside the phone to tell you how to get to bars, nightclubs, and bowling alleys anywhere in the world, which is handy if you get lost on a boozy holiday night out. It would be even more handy if it could tell you how to get to the nearest ATM, but maybe that is asking for trouble!

Google Maps: You do not even have to download this, as it comes pre installed with the phone. It basically turns your phone into a satellite navigation system of the kind that you might have seen taxi drivers use.

Even cooler is the streetview option, which gives you a full 3D virtual reality view of any street in the UK, and some in other parts of the world. The coolest thing about it is that, thanks to the HTC magics internal accelerometer, you can pan around these 3D streets just by moving your phone around
