Android Marketplace is Exploding

If you make a habit of checking the Android Marketplace for new apps everyday (like I do) then you will notice that today MANY news came into the light. Keep in mind the G1 has only been on the open market for a week now, however the SDK has been available to developers for awhile now. Needless to say many needed apps have show up. Of these there are a few worth mentioning:
- Twidroid: A Twitter app for the G1. Nearly anything you can do on Twitter you can do from the app. The ability to upload photos is present but buggy. Worth the download.
- GPS Tracker: Real time GPS tracking/sharing. Why you should have this on your phone: because you can activate by SMS if you lose your G1 and find it in real time… very useful.
- Mem: Simon clone! Displays the number of colored/toned iterations you’ve memorized so far.
- Ringdroid: Create Ringtones on the fly with the music on your phone.
- SpellDial: what the dialer is missing, look up contacts as you press the T9 dialer keys.
- Tag ToDo: Decent and usable To Do manager. Supports tags/categories.
- Android File Manager: Who would have thought we would miss our File Explorer so much? Here it is in Android Style. Current functionality is limited to moving, copying, pasting, renaming and deleting.
- BudgetDroid: Not an account manager for your bank funds but more of a simple budget tracker. What’s great about that? Not having your personal finances on your phone but still being able to stay on budget. Simply create a budget amount for a category and enter what you spend and it tells you how much you have left for the month.

where’s the exhange email app? you would think that would be a priority over pacman. rather frustrating. i just got the phone yesterday. it’s pretty cool, but it doesn’t seem to have any real functionality that i might actually need. a lot of nice to have stuff, but nothing i can use for business purposes.
also, no notification when i have a new yahoo (or other) email. can not find a setting to change this. rather annoying that i have to keep going into the app to check for new email.

i found the notification setting. it’s amazing what you can’t see in front of your face, lol. but it is set to notify and i have yet to receive one even though i am getting emails. anyway, i will stop griping about that here and go to the forums.
the whole purpose of my original comment was – what about exchange email? why hasn’t someone developed it yet?
