Just been road testing some more and a few others I have liked for a while. These are all android, I'm afraid. Just thought I should explain I like the functionality of the iPad but the grim reality is that information sharing between apps is very poor on the iPad, this means that all apps effectively have to be stand-alone. No app however good will do all you want it to so info sharing is very important. Having said that I have a very open mind so by all means add your own iPad apps to this thread.

 

Astro (File Management Software) has good functionality and makes sence of the file environment

 

Android VNC (Network Software) Allows you to network with other mobile devices, there is an iPhone version of VNC

 

CEM (Magnetic Field Analyser) Measures the magnetic field around your phone can be used as a simple metal detector

 

Clinometer (measures vertical angle and doubles as a spirit level) You can estimate tree height with this one.

 

Surveying Calculator (Trigonomtery Calculator) Does the maths on angles and elevations

 

Text Edit (Text Editor) Writes text files, why is this one good? Well text files can be read on any device, and by any software, one of the few universal standards

 

Enjoy
