things we need on the 'ole android

1. Opera browser. Add https://duckduckgo.com and https://ixquick.com for some privacy and less spammy searches. Add the duckduckgo.com app.

2. Add Orbot for TOR functionality and then add Orweb browser for some more privacy, which also uses duckduckgo.com.

I tried and failed to find a way to add sshfs connectivity. I found one web entry that said the user had done it??? There is some development possibly, but this is in the land of rooting the phone, adding kernel modules, etc.

AppBrain for finding and installing Apps. (However, I'm not so fond of the social networking aspect that tells the world which apps you've got installed on the phone, need to remember to go delete these entries, especially if App was actually installed via regular Android Market.)

3. Dropbox. Not quite as good as sshfs, but provides archiving and access to web-stored docs. Unlike a computer dropbox install, looks like only an index is provided unless an item is marked for offline usage.
