I use the binary converter app. It helps me convert hex, dec to binary and vice versa. It save me a little time.

What do you do that you would need to convert between binary, hex and dec that often?

In my work (used to be a field technician) and now a service manager, we (years back) used to have to convert binary, hex, and dec for communications a lot. Now with most of our customers using TCP/IP as primary communications that is a rare occurrence.

I work on aircraft.... there are some different systems that I still have to convert to aid in troubleshooting.

If you don't mind me asking, who're you with? I was a final line assembly mechanic at Hawker Beechcraft until Feb of last year when I got laid off.

Independant contractor, so any phone I have is my work phone.

I see. Hawker makes the t-6 military trainers, but I was in the non-goverment side of things.

Well, my full time job is running/owning a custom woodworking shop. Aside from all communications (phone calls, emails, sales, etc) my phone has several apps that I find invaluable for daily use. Obviously contacts for all phone numbers, email addresses, etc... My most commonly used App has to be AK Notepad - I keep track of tons of notes here, from sizing measurements, questions from/to clients, to do lists, inventory lists, appointments (it does notifications with custom time setups) as well as reminders for just about every daily task - without AK Notepad I'd be lost! Better than my secretary (she's much better looking...).

Next is Docs to Go - here I carry my daily Excel spreadsheets, PDF's, and Word documents for "on the go" reference.

I also have my "cottage business" - manufacturing and selling MIKRADLE, and for this PayPal Mobile as well as Pkt Auctions keeps track of my sales, inventory and messaging from buyers.

I guess I'd also have to mention Tipper - a calculation App for arriving at proper tips and breakdown when "wining & dining" clients during sales meetings..

I'd be lost in business without my Droid! It replaced my Palm, my camera (for on the job photos later used for pricing up quotes), my GPS, my iPod music player (listening to music on the way to/from appointments, as well as my old "dumb" phones! mike

So what kind of job do you have that you use your Droid for? Is there any apps that help you do your job alittle easer? This should be a good thread...

I'm a pilot for JetBlue Airways. The Droid has been perfect as it will access most of our secure areas on our company intranet for looking at your flight plans, trading trips, moving days off, weather, etc.

The push exchange email works perfect and is very fast.

During times of bad weather and extensive delays, the company sends out multiple emails during the day to update us on what is going. A phone with a good email feature is a must, for me anyway.

I'm a service advisor at a Toyota dealership, so my droid is mostly used for personal, although I use the camera at times to take pictures of parts sometimes to help explain things to customers at times.

I'm a Student Affairs practitioner working within Admissions. No particular applications (or really anything that the phone does particularly better than others) improve my work, however the ability to remain constantly connected to multiple emails/social networks allows streamless 24/7 contact with my staff as well as possible new students.

Just this access to media outside the office has made my job so much more fulfilling as I am now able to spend less time in the office and more engaging students in person.

Actually my wife's job supports my Droid and gives me a discount to services. She is a manager of an IT department. My job is what I like to call being semi retired and a full time household engineer. Plus I have my duties to the forum which I so love.
