When you try to select a post you will be asked to complete the unlock pattern.

These are your choices

This is what the post I selected about Google Voice looks like when using the “Preview” option.

This is what posts look like when using the “Open URL” option.

Lock Me : This widget is an icon for a door. When the door is opened you will be prompted with the default lock screen for android. When the door is closed you you can set the pattern lock. This is great for people that want privacy, but not always. – [ Click here to view QR Code ]

SMS Unread Count : Displays the unread count for your SMS messages right on the icon. Note: the icon is actually a widget, it does not modify the messaging application.- [ Click here to view QR Code ]

Twidgit Lite : Shows the latest tweets from the people you follow on Twitter. – [ Click here to view QR Code ]

Weather Widget : Has a few different sizes, displays temperature and condition icons based on set or current location. – [ Click here to view QR Code ]

Advanced Task Killer : Shows available memory, and options for closing those 50 selected random apps that don’t need to be running constantly.

AIM : A very clean AIM client from AOL Mobile. It also supports Lifestream.

Apps Organizer : Add filters and organizer your applications in folder-like widgets instead of filling up your desktop.

Barcode Scanner : Allows you to scan QRCodes (like the ones to the right) and bring up applications in the Market, as well as search for information on regular old barcodes. Great app to have if you plan on installing any of the apps that I have listed here on this page BTW…

Gesture Search : Stop scrolling through hundreds of contacts and applications. Use Gesture Search by writing letters to narrow down the contact and applications results that you’re searching for.

Google Sky Map : See where the constellations and planets are located in real time by pointing your camera in the appropriate direction. It is a lot more amazing than it sounds, and it also has a very cool guided “locate” tool for searching for different things in the sky.

Google Talk : Googles famous Talk service integrates seamlessly with Android and it will make you hate text messaging.

Google Voice : Shows SMS, voicemail activity and anything else that you might find in your Google Voice inbox. Options for sync with contacts.

Google Googles : Take a picture of what you’re looking for instead of typing it. Or just point the camera around to see local businesses. This product is still in beta, and it doesn’t work for everything but it has come in handy a few times.

Layar : A location based search tool that allows you to filter for things in your camera view like local tweets, yellow page listings, restaurants, and much more.

Pandora : Never again will your ears bleed from some pre programmed playlist of underground jungle music. You have your Pandora playlists in your freakin’ pocket, and you know how to use them.

Photoshop Mobile : Allows you to crop, change colors, and make quick modifications to images on your phone. I find it especially useful for non-smartphone users who don’t receive my MMS messages unless I chop the image size down.

Places Directory : Displays information based on your location. This is great for finding things quickly like gas, medical, bars, etc.

Qik : Stream and share videos instantly online from your phone. Super cool!

Ringdroid : Sick of dealing with stupid virus ridden applications for editing and converting your own ringtones, alarms, and notification sounds? Do it on your phone instead of messing around with all of that stuff. Trim it, test it, and save it. The end.

ShopSavvy : Allows you to use your phone’s camera to scan barcodes to find the best prices for pretty much anything that you can find. Shows prices for online and local businesses based on your location.

SNESoid Lite : Keep it real with Super Nintendo games that you love instead of something that you probably won’t like. This program has a bunch of settings opening your phone up for all of your favorite SNES titles. Load the roms onto your memory card, and go to town.

TV Guide : I’ve never been satisfied with the guide on Cable and Satellite television. This app has channel info for all systems and is much quicker than what you’re probably using on your TV. Get your one up!

Twidroid : the industry-standard twitter client for android and among the most used twitter applications across all platforms. it’s available as a free and commercial pro version that supports all twitter features as well as functionality that is customized to the capabilities of android devices.
