Mint.com Personal Finance
Popular online personal finance website Mint released an update to its Android app, bringing it up to speed with its iOScousin with the ability to add transactions right from the device (particularly helpful when using cash, as these obviously don’t automatically come through like credit-card purchases). Users can also check their balances from individual accounts. Further, Mint has added Google Maps and Google Places support, making it even easier to look up a store when adding a transaction.

Flickr
It took a while, but Yahoo’s (NASDAQ:YHOO) Flickr has finally added an official app to the Android Market. Now users can upload photos from their handheld directly to the photo service and even use some of Flickrs custom filters to enhance them.
