Even more current stuff I like

Following on from my last update back in September, here's a quick note about things that I'm currently using:
Since September, I've moved from an HTC to a Samsung Galaxy S. Probably the biggest difference is the add-on software (that came bundled) calledSwype – and at last I've found happiness with a touch screen. I've been using a BlackBerry Torch for a couple of months, but I've found with Swype I have pretty much stopped using the physical keyboard… on a crowded train, using Swype, I can “type”, one handed, and at reasonable speed.
In terms of software, TweetDeck (on Windows, in Chrome, and on Android) is becoming my second inbox, giving the ability to pool together Twitter, Facebook and (on the Windows version) LinkedIn updates. On Android I've also started playing around with RetroCamera (Hipstamatic for the iPhobic). Listen, Spotify and NewsRob are all still mainstays.
On the laptop, it's (unsurprisingly) more Cloud-based services. I'm using DropBox more and more (and its Android client too), and fall in and out of love with EverNote. My current ambivalence towards EverNote is because of recently finding MindMeister – a fabulous, cloud-based Mind Mapping tool.
And that's your lot (for the next six months…)
