Fancy loading your Android phone up with some cool apps? So did silicon.com's Natasha Lomas - and over the next 10 pages you can find more info on the ones she liked.
Cab4Me
Being handy is the watchword of this app which makes the bold boast to let you "Get a cab. Anywhere". And that's pretty much it in a nutshell. Tell it your location, scroll around a map and pinpoint where you are (or let it use GPS to find out) and Cab4Me brings up a list of user-rated cab companies in the locale, furnishing you with phone numbers and other useful details such as payment methods accepted and service hours. Automatic cab ordering is planned for later versions of the app where you won't even have to speak to the cab company but just send them your location and destination data instead.

ShopSavvy does the same as Compare Everywhere, but works in the UK, on UK products and in good ol' UK Pounds.
Also, I found The Weather Channel to be very US-centric, too - AccuWeather does a far better job for us Brits.

"It'll even transcribe into Cyrillic so Greeks and Russians rejoice."
Can anybody clarify that? Cyrillic is not a language, it's more of an alphabet. It sort of like saying that the app will translate in Latin symbols - it doesn't make much sense. Another thing that doesn't make sense is the "Greeks" part - Greek (the language) doesn't use a Cyrillic alphabet, why would Greeks rejoice having Cyrillic, is beyond me.
