I recently switched from an iPhone to the HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) Android phone.  I am a huge fan of the Android operating system and I started writing applications for it.  My first application is “Touch Timer”. I developed this application after not being happy with any of the timer applications on the market.

Touch Timer is a countdown timer application with an intuitive touch interface.  You input your time by scrolling up and down on the appropriate number or by pressing the plus and minus buttons.  The alarm will go off even if the phone is asleep.  You can set the alarm to honor or override the silent/vibrate mode depending on user preference.  Alert sound is user selectable.

You can download Touch Timer for free from the Android market.

My second Android application is Risk Odds Calculator.  This application will calculate the odds of an attacker winning any single attack in the game of Risk and its variants.  The die selector for Attacker and Defender cycles through 3 types: none (black shadow), six-sided die, and an 8-sided die.  There is also a list of modifiers that allow you to do more advanced calculations for some of the more complicated Risk games, such as Risk 2210 or Risk Godstorm.

If there are any modifiers that I missed that you would like to see added, let me know and I will try to add them in.
