from the ask-hn dept.

I need ideas for developing my first android app, something that isn't just good for learning android but also useful. What kind of android apps you would like to have that doesn't already exists?

I've switched away from instapaper to just using readability's send-to-kindle button, but there still isn't a great instapaper client for Android. I understand it's more difficult now because the full api requires the client to be a subscriber or something, but I think it's a real gap.

What about something that lets you record a voice/text message and relay that to someone at a later time? (I haven't searched if such an app exists)

Nice idea. It also led me to another application idea - an app that

a)Let you store birthdays, anniversary etc in your calendar b)Let you record a text/audio/picture/video greeting c)Schedule those greetings to be delivered on particular day/time. d)reminds you about it so that you can make a personal call.

I would like to second that :D Somehow I don't know people willing to do stuff like this. I'm an Android dev but don't have apps in the market yet. But I would definitely like to change that and I'm really on it right now.
