If you know a smartphone using college student like Joe who wrote the MyTouch review, here is T-Mobile’s list of top 10 android back-to-school applications for the MyTouch:
- Apartments – College students can use this application to take the stress out of finding a place to live once they move out of the dorms.

- Layar – Layar’s augmented reality display will make any student’s life easier, providing a view through your phone’s camera and highlighting locations of interest including popular nightspots, restaurants, shops, and more. This application is exclusive to Android Market.
- Locale – Don’t want to be the person with the Lady Gaga ringtone going off at full volume in the middle of class? Now you don’t have to be! Locale lets you change your phone’s settings based on your location.
- Math Alarm Clock – Stop being the victim of the easy snooze button! This alarm makes sure you’re awake by testing your alertness with math problems before allowing you to turn it off.

Enhance them with various color correction, highlighting and distortion effects and then easily share them with your friends and family via e-mail, your blog, or the popular photo sharing sites on the web.
- handyCalc – You could buy a graphing calculator for $100, bring it with you to every class, and try not to forget it at home. Or you could download this highly-rated, free application on Android Market.

Math Alarm Clock would be the most useful to me… I’m really bad about hitting snooze.
This is just about the saddest attempt at a top 10 list we could imagine. I’m not ever sure if the author is useless or Android Marketplace is.
I am sure that until Google starts tracking Uninstalls in app ratings, the whole system will continue to smell.
How could you possibly miss Google Sky Map, it should have been your #1.
Hi Anonymous. I’m not sure if you are referring to me (Tech Savvy Mama) as useless or T-Mobile however, this list merely represent suggestions from T-Mobile as apps that might be helpful to college students.

How about CoursePro for college students? http://www.makemobileinnovations.com/coursepro
Have you tried Flash Card Maker Pro? My daughter used this to learn how to read. Wondering what your thoughts are in comparison to Study Droid listed above?
I also recommend Flash Card Maker Pro especially after they added multi-deck playback capability.
is there an app to make the text bolder?
