Topic: what apps work can be added to the asteroid.

I have been watching these forums since before christmas, and i still just bought one.  Love the sound, and the versitility music wise.  but google maps are cool, but has anybody got some sort of navigation app?  i see talk of pandora, is that installable?  how?
i would really like my dish network app to work, but i will settle for some form of navigation, and the rest is gravy.

No turn by turn GPS yet.
I found a few apps that are working on the asteroid.

1. Glympse- I am using an older version of this. 1.0.2 I think. I needed a usb keyboard to get it started, but it's a fairly nice gps app to let people know where you are at.

2. Dolphin Browser- This browser works best with a keyboard, but surprisingly very well without.

3. NightStand- This is not perfect, but launching it after you are blue tooth streaming you will have a nice clock to look at.

4. Open Home- This added a new home screen with an app drawer. I also needed a keyboard to navigate this, but it has potential.

I did find this link. Scroll down to the bottom for older versions of it.

I think that app requires the unit to have an application installed on it as well.
