Go to bit.ly/duOTLQ for the QR-Codes and Pocketnow post. In this week of the Android Application Weekly we review 5 great applications in 30 seconds each.

The first application is called Coin Flip Full Free and it is a simple coin toss to help decide between two ideas, opinions, or options. Since most people these days do not carry around change, Coin Flip makes it convenient to have a coin on hand at all times. The program is free on the Android Market.

The second program is ConvertPad and is capable of converting practically any unit to any other unit. There are more formulas and conversions than I knew existed. So until the US and other countries standardize every unit this program is invaluable. This application is free on the Android Market.

The third application is Instant Heart Rate and it uses the build in camera of your Android device to calculate your heart rate. It works the same way as a pulse oximeter at your doctors office. It calculates the changes in color between oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood. Each color change then registers as a pulse. Instant Heart Rate works best with good lighting and having a build in camera flash is very useful. You can even use this as an unrooted flash light. The application is free on the Android Market.

The forth program is Keeper and it stores and creates user names and passwords. If you want to backup your user names and passwords, you may either backup directly to your computer by downloading the free Keeper Desktop from the callpod.com website but this is only free for 30 days. Keeper also has the ability to backup directly to the callpod.com secure server for 30 days as well. This application is free on the Android Market as long as you only use it on your mobile device, then there is a 30 day trial or the backup abilities.

The fifth application is MyFitnessPal. Whether you want to lose weight, gain mass, or stay the same weight you currently are MyFitnessPal will help you keep track of your progress through a diary. Set your current weight and goal weight and MyFitnessPal will break down the kilo-calories of your daily intake and suggest changes in activity and eating habits. This program is free on the Android Market.
