Yes, if they will work on the new phone they should transfer right over as long as you are using the same gmail address as they are tied to your gmail account

So, this is saying that some apps a will not work with the incredible? I was Following the Nexus One and had some apps in mind....a few apps to use my Win7 machine anywhere (VNC viewer I believe it was called?) but that's pretty much it...so some apps may not work???

Well If those apps run for the nexus one they probably will run for the Incredible too.

Very possible that some apps will not work. I would bet that most will and the ones that have issues will be updated. Similar to ones that worked with the Droid and not the Nexus one. Eventually most were updated to work with the Nexus.

Im sure there are some that will not work with the Incredible but most should. It is a new phone so the ones that don't work with the incredible should be updated shortly after its release. None of us will know which apps will work and which ones wont work on the Incredible until we get our hands on that bad boy lol.

The only apps I have found that don't work are the LED Flashlite apps like Droidlite and the Fios Remote Control which kinda peeved me off since this is supposed to be Verizons flagship device. Of course any app that requires rooting does not work but as configurable and fast as this device is without rooting, that is probably not even a problem unless you want wifi tethering instead of USB or bluetooth tethering. If you got any paid apps on the market that required a registration from the developer you will probably need to email the developer for a new registration. Had to do that for YXFlash but registering for that program was kinda funky.

So the Fios Remote control doesn't work? Is this still true, 15 days later?

Im not sure. I got the FiOS Mobile app and it works flawlessly but i never bothered with the remote.
