I have really cool apps on my droid. There is the Sky Map, it shows you all the constellations. And the ever popular Zombie Run, that you can play using your google maps (turn an ordinary walk into a zombie chase), There are so many cool applications. Your 13?? What do you need a DROID for??

First, A widget is a program that is continuously running on your home screen. Widgets differ from icons because icons are just short cuts to applications whereas a widget is always open, always connected to the internet and running on your home screen. Widgets are great for news and information, because news is something that is always updating. Don't worry, widgets don't slow down your phone or cost any money to use because your parent will have to purchase an unlimited data plan when they purchase the phone.

In my opinion, widgets are best used if you are into facebook, twitter, news sites like CNN, technology, gaming, weather and music.

Example: Let's say you use facebook and your friend puts a new message on your wall, instead of having to log in to facebook and check for updates, your facebook widget will just display your new messages as they are placed on your wall, all you have to do is look at the widget. Your new wall messages will just update automatically.

To place widgets on your home screen, long press (press and hold) any empty spot on the home screen. Next chose widgets from the pop-up box. Then scroll though the list and select the one you want.

Second, Yes, you can place icons on your home screens. You do this by opening the application drawer located at the bottom of the screen. Sliding it up. Finding the app that you want to place on your home screen. Long pressing on the app (press and hold on the app) and drag to the specific spot on the home screen where you want to place it.

Third,
Everything on this list is free from the android market
Most if not all applications in this list have 4 stars and up.

Applications:

Advance task killer - kill running task easily

Album art grabber - if you cant find album art for some of your music this app is the best.

Apps Organizer - Organize your apps (especially if you have allot on your home screen)

Astro - it's like a windows explorer. Allows you to look through the directories on the phone and much more.

Barcode scanner - Allows you to easily download apps from the web strait to your droid using a desktop or laptop

Bible (YouVersion) - The best bible app out there. Gives you access to all translations you can think of

Documents to go - allows you to view pdf, word, excel, (and I think PowerPoint) from your droid

Droid light - turns your led flash into a flash light

Google voice - if you have a Google voice account, you can send text messages and call
anyone for free (you cant receive calls for free on your cell phone though)

Missed Call - If you missed a call and didn't hear it ring, a light will blink showing you that you missed a call or text message

Mixzing lite - allows you to play your music and show the album art even if you don’t have it

***My Days - (for women) allows her to enter personal information about her lady stuff

ScreenModeWidget - allow you to keep your screen from sleeping, allow your screen to sleep but when you turn it back on, it's not locked, or allow it to auto sleep and when you turn your phone back on, its locked (This is a widget)

An even better one than the ScreenModeWidget is ScreenOn - allows you to pick which applications you want the screen to say on for. So say you are using the browser and you don't want the screen to turn off, then open screen on and select browser and the screen will stay on as long as the browser is open.

Tech Buzz widget - stay up to date with all the latest android news (this is a must have)

iMusic - allows you to listen to almost any music you can think of free. Also allows you to download the music free as well. Just search for your favorite artist and see their music pop up.

Movies - application that tells you when movies are playing and in what theater. You can even order tickets on it. It also gives you a trailer to watch just in case you don't remember what the movie is about.

Engadget - Keep up to date with the latest technology.
Lookout - Anti virus for android, gives remote wipe if your device is stolen. Also tells you the exact location of your phone if it is lost and it will play a loud siren for you to find it.
