App: Turn Your Phone into a Powerful Flashlight

I don’t know about you, but I am not the type who always carries a flashlight with me. Like everyone else, though, I have had plenty of times when I wished I carried one. Now, I do, thanks to my phone.

You may have seen apps before that attempt to make a phone into a flashlight by filling the screen with a blank white box, but that provides faint light at best. Many newer phones, however, include a powerful light: the flash on the camera. Because you can also take videos on the camera, you can turn the flash on and keep it on, providing a very bright light. You can of course do this without an app: open the camera app, switch it to video mode, and then select the option to turn on the light. That is kind of a pain, though. So instead, search the Market for one of the many apps that turn on the light by themselves.

One great app is DroidLight, although as its name implies, it may only work on Droid phones such as the DroidX and Droid 2. The app is fantastically simple to use: open it, and it automatically turns on the flash; tap the lightbulb to turn it back off. Note that few things on your phone will drain your battery faster than leaving that light on. So, you should only plan to use this in short intervals. Still, it provides a great alternative to carrying some bulky flashlight with you.

Addictive Game: Air Control Lite

Angry Birds is without question the most addictive game out there, but I recently came across another that is great for killing time waiting in line: Air Control Lite. As with more addictive games, the concept is simple. You are an air traffic controller at an airport. A variety of aircraft, including helicopters, small personal planes, cargo planes and jets, fly in and it is your job to land them all safely. Each type has a specific place to land, and they all travel at different speeds, so you have to keep them out of each other’s way.

What is great about the game is that it is simple to play: you use your finger to draw a path from the airplane to the runway. Air Control Lite is free; a commercial version adds additional maps, including an aircraft carrier.

App: Turn Your Phone into a Level

Bubble is one of those apps that makes it hard believe you are still using your phone. Thanks to the phone’s accelerometer, Bubble turns your phone into a level. Simply turn the app on and you will see a bubble level, exactly as you would see on a real physical level from the hardware store.

You can either place the phone on its side or lay it down flat. Pressing the menu button on the phone and selecting Settings allows you to turn on extra features such as showing the angle and enabling a beep to let you know when you are level.

Find Apps with StumbleUpon
You may already be familiar with StumbleUpon, the Web-based service that allows you to discover cool new things on the Web by randomly directing you to Web sites based on preferences you set. StumbleUpon is now available on your Android phone, allowing you to randomly find pages on your phone just as you would on your computer.

The app, however, goes one step further, by also providing a way to randomly find apps. It begins by looking at the apps you already have on your phone, and then based on what types you have installed, it will show you random apps from the market. So far, it has worked very well for me: it is actually how I found out about Air Control Lite, mentioned above. Best of all, just like the Web site, the app is free.

應用程式:將您的手機變成強大的手電筒



我不知道你怎麼想,但我不是那種總是隨身攜帶手電筒的人。不過,像其他人一樣,我有很多次希望自己能帶著一個。現在,感謝我的手機,我可以做到。


您可能見過一些應用程式試圖將手機變成手電筒,通過填滿螢幕一個空白的白色框,但那最多只能提供微弱的光線。然而,許多較新的手機包含一個強大的燈光:相機的閃光燈。因為您也可以在相機上拍攝視頻,所以可以打開閃光燈並保持開啟,提供非常明亮的光線。當然,您可以不使用應用程式來做到這一點:打開相機應用程式,切換到視頻模式,然後選擇開啟燈光的選項。不過,這樣有點麻煩。因此,您可以在市場上搜尋許多能自動開啟燈光的應用程式。


一個很棒的應用程式是 DroidLight,雖然它的名字暗示它可能僅適用於 Droid 手機,如 DroidX 和 Droid 2。這個應用程式非常簡單易用:打開它,它會自動打開閃光燈;輕觸燈泡即可關閉。請注意,手機上幾乎沒有什麼會比開著燈更快耗電。因此,您應該計劃在短時間內使用它。不過,它提供了一個很好的替代方案,讓您不必攜帶笨重的手電筒。


上癮遊戲:Air Control Lite



無疑,憤怒的小鳥是最上癮的遊戲,但我最近發現了另一個非常適合在排隊等候時消磨時間的遊戲:Air Control Lite。與其他上癮的遊戲一樣,這個概念很簡單。您是一名機場的空中交通管制員。各種飛機,包括直升機、小型私人飛機、貨機和噴氣式飛機,飛進來,您的工作是安全地將它們降落。每種類型的飛機都有特定的降落地點,並且它們的飛行速度各不相同,因此您必須保持它們不互相干擾。


這款遊戲的優點在於它簡單易玩:您用手指畫出從飛機到跑道的路徑。Air Control Lite 是免費的;商業版本則增加了額外的地圖,包括航空母艦。


應用程式:將您的手機變成水平儀



Bubble 是一款讓人難以相信您仍在使用手機的應用程式。得益於手機的加速度計,Bubble 將您的手機變成水平儀。只需打開應用程式,您將看到一個氣泡水平儀,正如您在五金店看到的真正物理水平儀一樣。


您可以將手機側放或平放。按下手機的菜單按鈕並選擇設置,您可以開啟額外功能,如顯示角度和啟用蜂鳴聲,以便在您達到水平時提醒您。


使用 StumbleUpon 尋找應用程式

您可能已經熟悉 StumbleUpon,這是一個基於網頁的服務,允許您通過隨機引導您到基於您設置的偏好的網站來發現網路上的新事物。StumbleUpon 現在可以在您的 Android 手機上使用,讓您可以隨機找到手機上的頁面,就像在電腦上一樣。


不過,這個應用程式更進一步,還提供了一種隨機尋找應用程式的方法。它首先查看您手機上已安裝的應用程式,然後根據您安裝的類型,顯示市場上的隨機應用程式。到目前為止,這對我來說運作得非常好:這實際上是我發現上面提到的 Air Control Lite 的方式。最棒的是,就像網站一樣,這個應用程式是免費的。
