How to get Google Apps on the LG Rumor Touch- Calendar, Voice, Maps, Sync, and Gmail
Get The Google Suite for the LG Rumor Touch!
Most of us use Google in some way or another.
We might have Gmail (which is the best out there in my opinion, especially when it comes to spam).
We might use Picassa.
Perhaps we like to use Google Docs or Google Voice for work.
Maybe, your workplace subscribes to Google Apps like mine does.
Although I have several hubs on installing apps and games on the LG Rumor Touch, I thought it would be fitting to have one deticated just to Google related apps.
I remember that these apps were the first ones I looked for when I first got the LG Rumor Touch.
If you ever move up to an Android based phone (like the Samsung Intercept), being very familiar with all things Google will do you good since an Android phone and Google are inextricably linked like Siamese twins.
The apps are hosted on Mediafire.
