10+ Apps to boost up your brand new Android Phone

If you haven’t noticed, I have actually done a big review of HTC Desire (Android 2.1 OS). So that lead me to understand some Android applications as well. One of the benefit of having HTC Desire is, there are some preloaded Android apps so that you don’t have to download them separately. So I’m going to introduce you with some smart and efficient applications which will boost the productivity of your new Android Phone. Having said that, all of the applications I’m going to mention are tested on Android 2.1 OS. Almost all of these applications are free unless stated otherwise.

How to download these applications? Just find the “Market” icon on your phone and search for the application name. Now to make the most convenient way of installing these applications you should install “Barcode Scanner (open this link from your phone browser)” from the Android “Market” first (See below).

There are 2 ways to install the applications from this page.

1. Follow the link under each product using your Android Phone browser (Data charges may apply)
2. Scan the QrCode from your laptop or desktop screen using “Barcode Scanner“

Let’s get down to the list shall we..

Ultimate Guide for Speeding Up your Windows 7

Windows 7 is, finally, a great operating system.

Every version of Windows, has many services enabled, while many optimizing tweaks are not enabled by default. The reason this is so is because the installation is designed to support a very generic set of devices and hardware. The cool part of using Windows is the ability to fine tune it to your needs. Some call this tuning process “Hacking”, others called it “Tweaking”. I’m not really that worried about the name, instead I prefer focusing on the content…

Before I get all technical, it’s important that you check your hardware and choose the edition of Windows 7 that best suits your system:

Choose Windows 7 32-bit if you have:

• 3GB or less system memory
• Dual core or single core processor
• Built in graphic card
• 250GB or less hard drive

Choose Windows 7 64-bit if you have:

• 4GB or more system memory
• i7, Dual core or Quad Core processor
• Dedicated PCI express graphic cards such as Nvidia or ATI
• 250GB or larger hard drive

Now that that’s out of the way – on we go to the good stuff…
