Favorite Homebrew app?

[FriendOrDafoe]

Looking for some good homebrew apps. Any sugestions?

The new ScreenShot app and FolderHub app (released yesterday) are both sweet additions.
Actually, don't know of any others that will work without interop unlock.

sorry if this is dumb, but what is Homebrew? a developer? or a type of app?

Homebrew is your community of devs that produce apps and patches, outside of Microsoft. They are the ones that typically make the phone more user-friendly. Say you want your phone to do flips when it vibrates, a homebrew developer creates the patch or app to make the phone flip. Many do not get compensated for their work. Think of these people that create programs in their "home". You will have to have your phone in a special mode to load these apps and patches, as they do not come from Microsoft. Homebrew was what made my Palm Pre Plus awesome. I'm hoping we (WP7) are able to get some of those devs. They can make our phones do what we want them to, long before Microsoft will.

My favorite is Interop Unlock

I interop unlocked my phone. So far I am using Screen Capture, Advanced Config (Which is awesome. check it out), flashlight (uses the flash LED's also great), smart dialer, NES emulator, and justin angel's Pandora (proof of concept).

all of these are great apps to check out.
