The one I've seen on *-***** you scan the barcode then it tells you where you can find the item cheapest.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party :)
First thing I would pick up is App Brain as it will really help you keep track of what apps you have and allows you to move them to the SD easily and lets you know when there is an update to an app. Then if you want you can share you app list with friends so they can see what new cool stuff you have.
My most used photo app is Reto Camera. I have a few different pic apps but keep coming back to that one for some reason.
Also I find Drop Box is handy for both the phone and the PC.
If you have multiple background screens to scroll with like I do on the Droid X and want different pics on each then try MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.
I have some other things like bubble level and Ulysse's Gizmos which is fun but much better if you have the GPS hooked up.
If anyone uses AppBrain let me know and we can friend each other. Much better to see what someone else is using before you download a bunch of crap that you dont like.
Ohh and Dolphin Browser rocks. Tried a few and that is the one that works the best by far. Even beats Firefox IMO

Well now it appears that someone has managed to get some details on the next generation Galaxy S smartphone coming from Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy S 2, and looks to include specs, price, and release date.
According to an article over on Android Central, UK e-tailer Mobile Fun is showing a device they are calling the Samsung Galaxy S 2 i9100 as available soon, and pre-order now for priority dispatch and commands a price tag of £549.95 SIM free.
Spec wise this Samsung Galaxy S 2 is said to sport a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus touch screen, 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and 1080p video, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, 1GHz dual-core Samsung Orion processor, NFC, 1GB RAM, Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, and Bluetooth 3.0.
As for release date for the Samsung Galaxy S 2, the article states the device is expected to release as of the 4th of March. Having said that, there is of course no confirmation as to whether these specs, price and release date are real.
