BUSSINES
As every smartphone is made for bussines (with aditions to music and other shit) HTC Leo is on this field overpowered phone. Even with Windows Mobile 6.5,Leo is ultimate tool for bussines with android u only basicly get market and newer posibillites. Anyway bussines apps are essential Here is my recommendation for bussines users : E-Mail! Gmail app does job I cant crush that. But for serious user (exchange servers,push) HTC Stock E-Mail is currently best android e-mail clinet. It is free and nice has all settings like gmail(even more) but biggest things is u can disable thread wiev(which in gmail kills me since I have large e-mail traffic, HTC Email does good stuff with atachments and has HTML message.So for e-mail I suggest stock htc app. PDF! Adobe reader does great jobs and it comes integrated with rom so use it. Nothing beats PDF better than adobe :). Adobe PDF on market Task! Taskos is the only program that I know that can successfully sync with google tasks. So if u depend on tasks like me try it. You will like it :) Taskos on market

Office on the go! For office document manager I suggest Quick Office Pro. I do not use office on the go a lot. Since I have notebook. But when its needed quick office does the job
As you see quick office support a lot of online storages I personaly use sugarsync but if I do online transfer and availability of documents I use google docs for it. Its the best. Quick office only for e-mail or transferred files. Quick office is paid app so either buy it or find it :). As alternative if u are unable to by or find I strongly suggest Google Docs Quick Office Pro on Market Google Docs on market

File Management/ FTP ! For file management and ftp browsing I use ES Explorer. It is great root explorer and excellent ftp tool. IT has lots of addons like task manger etc. ES Explorer on Market Calendar management! When u add exchange account on HTC Leo u solve 3 things. Contacts.E- Mail and calendar. Stock calendar does great jobs for all calendar tasks so I am stick to it. Notes! For notes management I use implemented Evernote app with widgets. Its nice and has sync which is important to me so I can maintain productivity independent from device to device. Also it has PC/MAC/Linux app. Download evernote for windows Evernote on market Barcode scanner ! App that lets you scan QR Codes. Easy to use. Means a lot. Even if you think you dont need it. Just install it :) Barcode Scanner on market

MEDIA
One big aspect of HTC Leo is his media performance. Phone that was crippled by Windows Mobile 6.5 is shining under any android platform. Leo has nice video performance but thing I use it most is music.
Music playback! When it comes to music playback I mostly use stock sense media player cause of lockscreen widget and nice performance and aditions. Also in later time I am using Google Music. Google did great job making that app. Unfortunately google music works only in US. But you can use application anywhere. Google Music Signup Google Music app Video Playback. For videoplayback again stock player. To get best performance convert video to 800x480 at 15fps. Mp4 format. For video conversion I personaly use AVS4YOU video converter but u can find free alternatives via google.com. Vevo! Vevo is youtube music videos in HQ(High Quality). Only thing u can find on Vevo is musical videos. Again cause of copyright infregiment Vevo is only available in US but u can download app and install it. Current version is 1.08 and its needed to work. You can either find it or w8 for me to upload it.

Shazam! Is the best program I ever had on my phone. Since im music lover shazam lets u recognize most of the songs by putting your phone near speaker of radio or whatever. Shazam is great program but dont expect it to work on all genres of music especialy your country older music. Flash player! Web is full of flash so its good idea to have adobe flash player on your phone. Adobe Flash Player on Market

Social Networking There are 4 social networking applications that I have on my mobile. They are docked on home page GTalk! Is the app that is crucial to android users. Basicly you can communicate for free via internet. Gtalk comes as part of android Twitter! Is the best place when facebook gets too hot. On facebook there may be idiots or sociopats on twitter is much less of them. Twitter on Market
Skype! Skype is too much famous for me to analyze it. It is free VOIP calling service. Also you can buy credits to make international calls cheaper. In home network its pointless. Skype on market
Facebook! Is the most known social network on earth and many people are addicted to it. It is helping in communications but it needs control/self control. Facebook on market Facebook messenger on market
LinkedIn! Linked in is facebook for professionals. U can find work or employees you choose. LinkedIn on market

GAMES Altough gaming on android is not near gaming on iOS on android it can be fun. There are many games but I will post most fun to me and other people playing with my phone. Angry Birds! Angry birds is most downloaded game on handheld devices. It is for fun only but needs a little brain if u want 3 stars :). I enjoy playing it while waiting. Angry Birds on market Angry Birds Season on market Angry Birds Rio on market Robodefense FREE. Nice tower defence game. Needs brain and thinking. Nice gameplay and fine graphics. Robodefense Free on market Tower Defense : Nexus Defense Free!Same as robodefense but much more prettier graphics and gameplay. Worth of trying. Tower Defense : Nexus Defense on market Defender! Nice game when u are on the run and boored. Try it. Point is to defend castle from waves of invaders. Defender on market

There are many more games but this one I wrote is to get you strated. Im not a mobile gaming fan cause android to be true sucks as gaming platform but we will survive since It has a lot other advantages over other platforms.
