AndExplorer  -  Best file manager that can be discussed here.

Mobile Banking -- essential if you are a Bank of America customer

My Verizon -- love it now that i can see all the phones on my account.

twidroyd -- best Twitter client.Maybe not the best actually but for me it is because it remembers location so I don't scroll for a day to find where I last was. None of the others do that I don't see why.

Bloggeroid because I like to blog and it is a nice simple interface that posts to my blogger account

Arity calculator -- trying it out because it graphs

RealCalc -- Nice scientific calculator

Facebook for Android  -- Cause the HTC version stinks. 

Ebooks by Kobo -- Been using them for a long time and have bought a few books through them so I use them.

Borders ebooks  -  Borders has a little nicer store than Nook different offering and sometimes cheaper

Google Earth  -- Duh

Kindle for Android  -  My wife has a Kindle account so I can read her books.

Nook for Android  -- If you use the Nook which I hope to eventually but also it installs Adobe Digital Editions.

Astro File manager  -  A little more full featured than AndExplore but not my favorite.  Simply installed to give me the ability to download non-Android files so I can store them on my phone and install them on whatever computer I am hooked to.  So I don't have to download every file a million times when I go from desktop to laptop to work to whatever. 

Google Voice  --  Not what I had hoped but nice voicemail manager and does give me that second number option

Google maps  -- Duh

 

 

Some I need to install that I have forgotten apparently.  I also need to dig a little deeper into the market.  There are jewels I haven't really explored.  I mostly use stock features and ereaders because that is all I really have time for.  Though I always watch for more.  I also want to learn some developing mostly just for fun and probably never for anyone more than just me. 

 

Aldiko - because I like the interface and I can import epubs to it.  Would love if I could import from ADE.

Bubble -  a digital bubble level that is pretty accurate and convenient probably wouldn't want it if I were a construction worker as my only bubble level but for simple tasks where close enough works it is great much better than eyeballing it. 

Google Googles -- Because it is the best comparison shopper I have found and it has other features.

Google Skymap -- because it is fun and there are times when you just wonder what you are looking at. 

 

 

Others I can't talk about.

Had tons more but I got sick of scrolling through so many to find what I wanted. Also started getting some "low disc space" error messages. I finally got sick of the messages so I uninstalled about 75 totally unneeded apps. She's a runner now!

 

I've attached a pic from the developer's site of my favorite app ever! MULTICON 2 - EXCELLENT!!!

multicon 2!!!!!! is it smooth? i'd love to have more apps on one page but really haven't wanted to mess with a homescreen app. but it runs well? does it use your original homescreens and just shrink the icons or is it a replacement homescreen?

Yes, the widget starts a 4 little plain icons, then you tap on one and get prompted to assign the app, or contact person you want. Only downfall is once you assign something its not able to be edited. But, you just delete the widget and start over. No biggie.
