17 February 2009 16:34 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Hours after Vodafone and HTC announced the new G1 rivalling Android-based "Magic", T-Mobile has revealed the top 10 most popular Android applications - and hinted at new ones to come.

The top ten most popular applications from Android Market are, in T-Mo's words:

1. The Weather Channel – Provides customisable weather maps and alerts

2. MySpace Mobile – Allows MySpace users to keep connected via their T-Mobile G1

3. ShopSavvy – Allows users to scan a product’s barcode and compare prices online

4. Daily Horoscope – Offers a daily fix of astrology

5. Free Dictionary Org – Works just like a traditional dictionary

6. Ringdroid – Allows users to create their own ringtones using MP3 tracks, or by recording their own

7. Backgrounds – 50,000 backgrounds available to customise your T-Mobile G1

8. Barcode Scanner – Similar to ShopSavvy, allows users to scan a CD or book’s barcode to look up prices or reviews

9. Save MMS – Allows users to save images, video or audio from MMS text messages directly to the G1’s memory card

10. Compare Everywhere – Another shopping comparison service that uses the G1’s camera to scan a product’s barcode to find out more information and comparative prices

New applications due to be added include Dopplr, a social travel application, the new Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile, Last.fm, a mobile version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", Tetris, and Monopoly.

  • Looks like Google will have to license Neomedia's upheld IP.

    Hopefully, Google pays Neomedia each time a barcode is clicked on.

    I am sure that the EFF will remain silent.

    NeoMedia Technologies grandfathered this technology back in the mid 90’s and have been doing mobile code scanning and comparison shopping via UPC codes long before any other company in this space.

    NeoMedia on ABC & NBC News circa 2004:

    NeoMedia has a rich patent portfolio that covers scanning barcodes with a camera enabled mobile device to connect to the Internet, comparison shop, and/or retrieve online content.
