1- Evernote

This is one, if not the most popular, “assistance” app available on the Android marketplace. That’s because Evernote is essentially everything you ever need when it comes to keeping track of thoughts and to-dos throughout the day. Whether it’s a catalog of photos or a series of reminders, virtually anything can be collected and revisited through Evernote. There’s no need to haul around a notepad and pen wherever you go anymore.

2- Astrid Task

For a more streamlined way to manage your tasks, the Astrid Task app is a simple list creator that includes a notification system for reminding yourself of the things that still need to get done before you can sit down and relax. Users can share information with each other, allowing Astrid to become a tool the whole family can use to more efficiently take care of chores and other responsibilities.

3-Dropbox

Chances are you’ve heard of the cloud by now: a collective place where people can safely store their data off-site from their home networks and hardware. For users of smartphones, this is exemplified by Dropbox, an app that lets you upload files onto the Dropbox server so that you can access them later on your mobile device. It’s basically like doubling your smartphone data capacity with the inclusion of extra memory in the sky. Forget about having to backtrack home to bring vacation photos with you to show friends and family – just access Dropbox and save some time.

2-JuiceDefender

Apps are wonderful, but they can quickly suck the life out of a smartphone. While Android comes with ways for you to manage your apps and turn them off, you have to be pretty good at remembering to check relatively often. JuiceDefender takes the remembering out of the equation by going through and turning off unused apps for you. Don’t worry about a dead phone and finding a recharge in time for your meeting ever again.

1- Document Scanner

Nothing can be as laborious as manually copying hard copies of information. But what other choice do you have when you need to record hard copy data and there isn’t a copying machine around? You use your Android-powered smartphone of course. In particular, you use the Document Scanner app which essentially turns your phone’s camera into a scanner. It works wonder and shaves minutes off your efforts.

You should never let technology inhibit your ability to take care of tasks in a timely fashion. This is especially the case considering the fact that technology exists to help and not hinder your efforts to do things more efficiently. Apps aren’t the end-all-be-all of helpful technology, but they’re a start considering many of the most useful apps are free of charge.

Currently you can get a Sky HD Box for free at Sky.com/FreeOffer with free installation if you sign up to the Sky HD Pack online. This is the best deal there has been on Sky+ HD and is a clear sign that Sky want to maximise Sky+ HD users so that the launch of 3D TV has the best chance of success.

To watch Sky 3D TV you will need this new Sky HD Box, together with a 3D Ready TV and of course some 3D glasses. The two main questions about whether 3D TV will be successful centre on the actual TVs required to watching 3D TV and those 3D glasses.

Many consumers have only just recently just purchased HD Ready TVs and it is quite a leap of faith by Sky to assume that their customers will be willing to replace this HD Ready TV with a 3D Ready TV.

The second main area of doubt with 3D TV involves the glasses. Although they’ve come a long way from the days of cardboard frames with one green lens and one red lens, it’s still difficult to imagine families sitting around their new 3D TV all sporting these not so stylish 3D Glasses.

Sky is pretty confident that 3D TV is set to take off in a big way, and indeed they are not alone. Many of the big TV Manufacturers are investing a lot of money into developing 3D TVs ready to capitalise on TV services like Sky 3D TV. Only time will tell whether they are proved right, however.

The Sky+ HD Box will be used to view Sky 3D TV and Sky want as many of their customers to have this box in their home to make the transition from HD TV to 3D TV as smooth as possible.

Sky are marketing the new and improved Sky+ HD Box as the Sky SuperTelly and their offering Free standard set-up, free broadband and calls and a £25 M&S voucher if customers join Sky+ HD online.

This is a clear sign that they really want to penetrate the HD market and get to a critical level of HD Subscribers and suggested that the launch of 3D TV is key to their long term profits.

Sky+ HD is the widest provider of live HD Channels in the UK and now offers 37 Sky HD Channels which is vastly more than any other provider. Virgin Media, however, are hot on their heels and have plans to launch a number of live HD Channels later this year.
