This spring, I made the switch from the Apple iPhone to an Android phone (Motorola Atrix). It’s been a good great move for me. I’m a huge fan of Google’s products – I use GMail, Docs, Calendar, Search, Picasa, Chrome, Reader and lots of other Google products on a daily basis. I also use Google Apps for my own business and for many of my clients.

Before I made the switch, though, I carefully made a list of the iPhone apps I used the most. Then I cross-referenced to make sure an equivalent or an alternative was available for Android. The only app that came up short was Scrabble, but by that time many of my friends were talking about Words With Friends, so that was fine with me.

As you’ll see in the list below, I use my phone for much more than playing Scrabble – it’s an essential part of my business toolkit. Here are the apps I recommend:

And there you have it, that’s a list of the apps I use regularly and will recommend to any Android user.

The Google Suite of Web Applications comes free with every website I build, as it’s a fairly comprehensive suite of productivity software that is easily integrated with the customer’s website. Google Apps includes GMail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Sites.

There are tons of uses for Google Apps. One of the most useful resources I’ve found is the ability to collaborate on a document using Google Docs.

Google Docs is an online word processor, spreadsheet and presentation web application. It runs completely in your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc). Here’s a quick how-to on creating, editing and sharing documents in Google Docs.
