Live wallpapers

Name the 1st thing that separate Android phones from everything else.

To me, what comes to mind are widgets and live wallpapers.

Live wallpapers change your screen from some static windows-desktop-like image into an enjoyable dynamic show.  Makes it a pleasure to look at every time.

My first android wallpaper, and still my favorite, is Koi Live.  This top view of a beautiful pond filled with Koi fishes swimming around isn't only gorgeous, it also reacts to your input, sending ripples across the water when you touch the screen.

There's a whole lot of live wallpapers (LWPs) available, but those from Kittehface Software are especially good.  They include, in addition to Koi Live, the following:

Thunderstorm, a cloud-filled sky with frequent lightning strikes
Galactic Core, a nice spinning galaxy that also reacts to your input
Blue Skies, another one of my favorites, but it seems to cause launcher slowdowns and crashes on some devices
and Silhouette, a dynamic sunset view with a few surprises that I'll let you discover :)

The sunrise wallpaper that offer you morning surprises is Sun Rise by Teragon.  The background's similar to Silhouette but it's got it's own personal touch that you'll love.

All of those are offered in two versions; A free one, that's fully functional, ad-free and doesn't require any system permission, and a Donation one, that offers many customization options for 99 cents.

Whatever device you have, download a few of those and give them a try.  Chances are you'll love the life they bring to your screen :)
