I had a chance to check one of these out the other day and it looks pretty good. There are several useful iPhone apps for guitarists. Does anyone here know what Android apps are available for guitarists and whether they are of reasonable quality/utility?
Many thanks,

Not sure if all the apps that are in the Iapp store work on Androids or not but GuitarToolkit is a must have for me David.

Not sure if you can do that but the display is definitely a lot smaller than the iPad so I'm not sure how useful it would be. I'm mostly interested in apps such as tuner, metronome, chord diagrams etc. I've seen similar apps on the iPhone and they looked useful and convenient.

The new 2.2 (Froyo) version of Android is supposed to support Flash, and so I think it may support TG natively--just open a browser and watch. I'll try this when I upgrade the OS. It should be available for my model phone within a month.
