Thanks… response….

Google Voice – Well I might be wrong here but from what I read. “IF” you have a full fledged android phone and Google Voice installed you have the option of using your cell phone carried or wifi after you initiate the call through your phone’s dialer. Since I have no phone dialer or carrier I needed this app (which won’t let me hang-up or mute, need to send an email to the developer). However for the most part groove IP did connect right up to Google voice, had my contact and everything and I was able to call right through GV’s servers without much hassle.

Google map – Thanks much. I did not test this much yet but when I wandered outside in the yard and got out of wifi range the map disappeared. I was not navigating anywhere maybe that was the issue. Glad I can download maps and POI in case I go on a trip and decide to got to multiple places. Thanks for the link

File Sharing – Yea I was just amazed that the device did not have a simple file manager type program to map to a network drive. I don’t want anything on a cloud or anywhere in the web since I am limited to 10 Gig a month of web traffic (thanks Verizon). I would like to be able to connect to my PC to manually copy files or play music directly from my PC. Nothing fancy.

I have definitely been cursing the other posts and will definitely be downloading a few apps you guys recommend. I’m kind of in fear of loading some crappy program on my device and hosing it up, slowing it down or filling it full of junk. Besides and new viruses out there.
