New Apps/Games

[Legit]

I'm interested in making some apps/games for the Droid. What type of games are you all looking to see in market?

As for apps, I'm thinking bout making a stock portfolio to track preformance and returns? Is there any interest in that top of utility?

- a "graffiti" handwriting recognition input area as an alternate to the onscreen keypad
- a Mozilla / Firefox /Netscape style skin for the browser on my Moto Droid 855
- a memo pad with a "graffiti" input area option, and a good saving/filing system, maybe save straight to google doc's option
- a decent contacts app. One that'll import from Palm OS devices, Outlook, Yahoo, Blackberries, or vCards, (but be better than the vCard standard) and not lose any data.
there's at least one other thread on just this.

As far as types of games go, I think most of us are looking for stable games with sharp graphics, not glam that eats CPU and mem and makes for slow, sloppy action. Games that don't have you constantly wishing the screen was bigger!

thank you, sir, for helping me trash an hour of my day :)

you could also try making a paper toss for android. i know the ipod has one, and it seems pretty easy to implement. on the ipod, you just touch and drag in a direction instead of waiting for the arrow to line up. very fun, very simple, very addicting.
