Open source android applications

I'll try to keep an update list of FOSS android applications. If you search for "android applications" on your favorite engine, you will mainly find payware / ad-ware or freeware closed source applications. I really can't stand the idea. This is a selections of links. I haven't tried them all and I'll write my impressions as I try them out. My experiences are on a freerunner running android cupcake.

build android adb on debian sid amd64

I've installed android on my freerunner. I've to say that it works ! very nice and functional interface, finger friendly, voice, sms, wifi work out of the box. I'm very impressed.

Following the lead from http://lackingrhoticity.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-build-adb-android-debugger.html I've decided to build adb to connect to my phone without downloading the precompiled sdk and without checking-out the entire android git repository. It's actually very easy, and I'm sure with a minimal effort, it should be possible to create a debian package.
