Android: My Tracks - Record your Outdoor Activity

My Tracks is a handy application for Android that allows you to record your outdoor activity and log it to Google Maps and to a spreadsheet in Google Docs. I've pasted output from the popup on one of my Google maps showing today's walk. Elevation is not as accurate as location, but according to the FAQ relative elevation is fairly accurate.

Android: Evernote Beta (QR Code)

Evernote has a beta for Android. Scan the QR Code to the right from your phone and open it in the browser. I learned about the beta from this Life Hacker article.

I generated the barcode using ZXing http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/

Android: Official Facebook App (2D Barcode)

Here is a 2D barcode for the official Facebook app for Android. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but reading some of the comments make me wonder if it's a little under-featured.

Just point your phone and scan it with a barcode scanner. I use Barcode Scanner from ZXing (Zebra Crossing). Just search the market for 'ZXing'.
