The Freeeeeee ones
1. Pulse - Love is on my tablets and works great on WP7 as well

2. WhatsApp - Free for one year and then $1.99 a year but I love it anyway, great for working with people overseas

3. eBay - Need I say more?

4. Craigslist deLUXE Lite – I thinks it’s the best craigslist app, you can setup alerts and great interface (there is a pro version without ads)

5. Evernote - How could I live without evernote between my desktop, tablet and phone????

6. 4th and Mayor - The best Foresquer app on all platforms even better than their app…..

7. Slick Deals - As I live by slickdeals hourly this is another one to love, shame it makes you spend more money on stuff you might not need….

8. GO VOICE - As much as I love Android (a lot) I think WP7 is much better for my day to day work (you might say I could use a BB) but I can’t live without my voice mail.

9. AA - (Not that AA) as much as I hate them I fly with them all the time, great app they did here.

More to come!!!

Here you will learn how to convert a Numer String to different number types.
Each number type in Java has a parse method that allows you convert a string into the primitive type.

When converting a string to a number, the parse method may throw a NumberFormatException if the string is null or an invalid representation for that type.

Ok now why am I showing you this? let’s say you are pulling data from your DB but want to preform calculations on the values, unfortunately the number in the Strings are not ment to be final values and will give you odd numbers for calculations.
Please keep this in mind and take into consideration that an “int” and a “long” will only give you the full number and not the decimal point.

Convert a String to an int

To convert a String to an int, call the static method parseInt() on the Integer class. Below is an example:

String string = "123";
int value = Integer.parseInt(string);

Convert a String to a long
To convert a String to a long, call the static method parseLong() on the Long class. Below is an example:

String string = "123";
long value = Long.parseLong(string);

Convert a String to a float
To convert a String to a float, call the static method parseFloat() on the Float class. Below is an example:

String string = "123.4";
float value = Float.parseFloat(string);

Convert a String to a double
To convert a String to a double, call the static method parseDouble() on the Double class. Below is an example:

String string = "123.4";
double value = Double.parseDouble(string);

// Convert The060 String to Float for Calculations
float The060f = Float.parseFloat(The060);
int eight = 8;
int ten = 10;
int six = 6;</div>
<div>String TheVerdict = "";</div>
<div>

// Do Some Calculations
if (The060f &lt; six) {
TheVerdict = "It's One Amazing Ride!";
} else if (The060f &lt; eight &amp;&amp; The060f &gt; six) {
TheVerdict = "It's One Great Ride!";
} else if (The060f &lt; ten &amp;&amp; The060f &gt; eight) {
TheVerdict = "It's a Decent Ride....";
} else if (The060f &gt; ten) {
TheVerdict = "IT SUCKS!";
}
