I have recently had the opportunity to play around with what I have no doubt will be the next big resource for high tech D&D fans. D20 Character Sheet for Android by Torsten Wiederkehr is an amazing program all sized down for Android phones.
Currently this software will let you create a character, keep track of equipment and magic items found in core books and roll skills with just a tap of the screen. These features are of course accompanied with the basics. You can enter character name, race, class (including multiclass), stats, abilities, combat, saves, money, feats, skills, and even add an image of your character. Recent updates have added an Administration feature which allows creation/edit of classes, skills, and feats. This allows users who enjoy playing around with optional rules, or non core books the ability to add in what they need to be able to keep track of their character and it’s progress right on their Android phone.
Coming soon will be the ability to Create and Edit Weapons (August 2010), Armor (September 2010), goods (October 2010) and to complete the frond end of this software, custom races will be added in November 2010.
While this software is by no means on the ground floor, it is still growing and has much potential to enhance a game many of us already love. For me, it means I can leave the laptop at home, and clean up the many pieces of paper I would otherwise have to use. I have found it to be an indispensable tool that has done nothing but increase my enjoyment of the game.

I'd like to know if anyone else has been using this, or if someone has other programs they're using. I've tried a couple and ended up on this one because of the flxibility.
