   4
   5 We all like Free Software here right?
   6
   7 As per the request of my dearest friend emacsen I bring you a list of
   8 Free Software I use on Android. Perhaps one day there will be
   9 something here about a fancy build daemon and package distribution
  10 system for Android, but knowing me probably not.
  11
  12 ** Network
  13
  14  - [[http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/][K-9 Mail]] Replacement for the builtin Email app that has a few more
  15    features that make it much nicer to use.
  16  - [[http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/][ConnectBot]] Very useful ssh/telnet and local shell terminal
  17    emulator.
  18
  19 ** Utilities
  20
  21  - [[http://www.openintents.org/en/download][OpenIntents Applications]] A basic notepad, todo list, file manager,
  22    news reader, countdown timer, flashlight, and encryption thing. You
  23    can put shortcuts to notes on the homescreen which is quite handy.
  24
  25 ** Games
  26
  27  - [[market://search?q=pname:com.netthreads.android.noiz2][Noiz2]] (market link). Pretty fun. [[http://ccgi.arutherford.plus.com/blog/wordpress/projects/][netthreads]] has more projects that
  28    might be useful too.
  29  - [[http://m.smsbox.ch/pro/frozenbubble][Frozen Bubble]] Productivity, farewell.
  30  - [[http://code.google.com/p/doom-for-android/][Doom for Android]] This is actually playable on a g1.
  31
  32 ** Development
  33
  34  - [[http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/][Kawa Scheme]] can indeed [[http://per.bothner.com/blog/2009/AndroidHelloScheme/][be used to write Android applications]]
  35    (mildly out of date, but useful nonetheless). I swear, I've done
  36    it, and I'll do it again.
  37  - [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid][Emacs on Android]]. Why not?
