The HTC G1 is making its way around the world and it is starting to show off what it’s really made of or what people are really making out of it rather. Developers are going nuts with the new Android OS and new programs are coming out daily allowing you to customize your phone just the way you like it.

You can make your phone into life organizing machine or just use it as a mobile arcade. We like to keep it somewhere in between. Here’s a couple of apps here at TimTechs which have us dropping our jaws.

• Ringdroid

Ringdroid makes turning MP3s into your personal ringtones a snap. This app lets you edit and select the portion of the song you want to play when one of your contacts is calling. So now you can jump straight into the chorus of a Doors song when your boss is calling.

• Translate

This one is especially useful to those of us who don’t want a bunch of bulky gadgets crowding our pockets. Translate is a quick and simple translator which will give you easy access to phrases when you need them on the go. There are already 150 language pairings available. Fantastic for travelers.

• Compare Everywhere

Compare Everywhere is an especially popular one with the thrifty handset users among us. Have you ever been in a mall and don’t feel like visiting every single store to get the best price on the new Britney Spears CD? Just scan the barcode with your camera and then see the product details come up on the screen including other prices at other vendors near you. You can also use this app to create a shopping list.

• Any Cut

This one is one we recommend that every G1 user have on their system. The Any Cut app customizes your home screen with common activities and allows you to automate them with ease. Make repetitive actions a one click task. If you have a regular texting contact, add a short cut with Any Cut and you can bring up a text screen instantly. This is what we’re talking about when we say customizable.

• WikiMobile Encyclopedia

Here’s a useful tool to settle bar arguments. The WikiMobile Encyclopedia only requires an internet connection and then you can access actual Wikipedia articles formatted to the G1 screen. The format is especially nice for navigating through the pages and it’s much more comfortable to read than on the regular browser.

What is above is just another small example of what the Android Market is offering us and it is growing as I type. We can’t wait to see how far developers will be pushing the OS tomorrow. Stay tuned!
