I agree, get appbrain. I still can't accurately list my true 5 favorites since I am a new android user (not even 2 weeks). But so far I use these the most

Appbrain
Andoku (the best sudoku game I've found)
Cubed (love the music player)
GroceryIQ
Sprint TV (love it on the train. Just rewatched the LOST finale, how can a phone that lets you do that be bad?)

[rooktdphi]

this week:

LauncherPro (my favorite home replacement - tried them all)
ESPN ScoreCenter
QuickDesk (creative new home "pop up" from the helix developer)
Battery Indicator (self explanatory)
Quick Settings (very convenient icon in the notification bar that allows you to toggle all features; plus has a built in flashlight feature)

Top 5 Android Apps on my HTC Droid Incredible:

1. Advanced Task Killer by ReChild
2. Battery Widget by geekyouup
3. HTC Sense (Friend Stream)
4. Dolphin Browser HD
5. AndExplorer by Lysesoft
(6. Documents To Go)

I have a web site where I am starting to do reviews of Android Apps (and a couple of handheld devices). The app I’d LOVE to review and add to the top of my list would be a podcast player with the ability to pause audio quickly, without hunting for the right pixel to tap, fast forward and rewind. Any recommendations?

[CRKhead]

1. Advanced Task Killer
2. Touiteur
3. Handcent SMS
4. Air Control (Awesome game, addictive as hell)
5. ESPN ScoreCenter

World Cup 2010 - FotMob by Score Service Ltd deserves an honorable mention at the present moment during World Cup play...

[RIMMAN]

Only 12 days into being an android owner (DInc), but here it goes:

1: USA Today
2: ScoreMobile (tons of sports, great widget as well)
3: Pandora
4: Google Goggles
5: Google Maps (navigation)

[dspcap]

Had my Incredible for about a month:

1. Handcent SMS
2. Tapatalk Pro
3. Speed Test - I like to remind myself how fast this phone is :-)
4. Battery Indicator
5. K-9 (only because all the other email programs suck)

I almost forgot about appbrain !!! It ranks up there.

[Hero23]

Have had my Hero for almost a month, but I'd go:

1. Twitter for Android w/ ReTweet
2. Dolphin Browser HD (Now my default browser)
3. MixZing (My default Music app.. Found all album art for me as well)
4. Google Listen (great way to keep up with Podcasts, especially since I gave my iPod Touch away when I bought my Hero)
5. Task manager (great for closing all those apps that have no business running in the background.. Has added a lot of battery life to my phone)

If you like Shazam you'll love SoundHound...

1. - fantastic profile switcher. (Still not as complete as the BB ones, but more automation)

2. - along with Launcher Pro, the best home launcher around. If you use more than 1 Launcher app by the way is a fantastic, light app to switch quickly between launchers and set defaults quickly.

3. is a great speed dialing tool.

4. is a great tool to browse and install apps from a web based interface on a PC. There's the website and the light Android app client to sync.

5. Easily the best browser available for android. Excellent 1-handed sliding zoom, real tabbing, MANY other great features.

Bonus ones I love:
(wake to custom spoken greating, spoken weather, spoken time date. It's so cool.
-Easy fast way to send anyone your location immediately
The best way to share files among PC, phone, etc etc

Wow, momento asks for some heavy permissions. Why would it need to mount and unmount the filesystem?

+1 . SoundHound is amazing

[The Pre Meister]

Best Task Manager: I've tried 5-10 of these puppies, and while Advanced Task Killer (Free) is no slouch, I def have to go with Automatic Task Killer. Great battery life, easy interface, limited/no ads, and 2 great widgets.

Games: Thanks to this thread I discovered Cestos = the BESTos!

Homerun Battle 3D is also amazing and has great multi-player online play.

If you haven't tried NESoid with the Wii Controller functionality you are seriously missing out. I simply dock my Droid in landscape and play Super Mario Bros. 3 with my Wii controller wirelessly. 'Nuff said.

I also suggest Bubble Defense, Robo Defense, Toss It, and Phit Droid!

Productivity: Adobe Reader, ASTRO File Manager (doubles as great back-up app,) Documents To Go (Full - well worth $9.99,) Dropbox (wireless file syncing to the max,) Evernote, GDocs (great for people who use Google Docs,) Jorte (beautiful agenda/calendar replacement app,) Mint.com (MUST HAVE,) OI Safe, and USA Hot Jobs (The answer to the unemployment rate? Android users able to change the world!)

Music: gStrings (amazing app for tuning guitar or whatev,) Listen (best podcast app hands-down,) Music Wizard (the Limewire of Android,) Pandora, Slacker, and SoundHound (sorry Shazam!)

For Root Users: ROM Manager, AdFree, Root-Ed ShoutBox, SetCPU, Spare Parts, and Wireless Tether...

Reading: Kindle, NewsRoom, and the best Bible app - KJV Bible (Search "talking Bible." It has more than just the KJV, but is amazing. Must try.)

Utilities: Uninstaller, Scientific Calculator, Calorie Counter, Craigsnotifica (Craigslist app,) Dictionary.com, Goggles, Google Translate, Google Sky Map, HistoryEraser, IMDb, Kayak (for traveling, flights, hotels, etc,) myLock Prefs (so your phone automatically unlocks - amazing,) Recordoid (MUST HAVE VOICE RECORDER,) TeslaLED (camera flash = flashlight - w/ great widgets,) Timeriffic, and Vlingo!

Entertainment: Epic Fail, Gowalla, Mario Soundboard, Tapatalk Pro, TV.com, and Ustream Viewer.

Backgrounds & Ringtones: Zedge and Backgrounds...

Photography (Huge hobby of mine...): FxCamera, PhotoFunia, Picasa Tool, PicSay Pro, Retro Camera, and Vignette. I take professional-quality pics on my Droid with these software(s)...

Weather: WeatherBug Elite - no question. Unrivaled widgets, accuracy, features, etc.

Browser: apart from my stock Chrome browser with Adobe Flash, I recommend the newest SkyFire - much improved.

Miscellaneous: Android Central widget (of course,) Runstar, ScoreMobile (best sports app - period,) ESPN ScoreCenter, Shopper (by Google,) Where, Google Voice, tumblroid, and MY FAVE TWITTER APP (for the last couple days, anyway)... SEESMIC! (Gotta love that raccoon! And the free window decals they sent me!)

If these seem like a lot (or overwhelming,) please know I have all those and MORE installed on my Moto Droid running ChevyNo1's Simply Stunning 4.3 overclocked to 1.25 GHz on Android 2.2! Runs smooth as butter and quick as greased lightning. No complaints here. Feel free to ask me any ?'s regarding any of my choices. For the record, I have personally purchased and tried EVERY Twitter app on the Market - so don't hesitate to ask me anything (or tweet me @a_googler!) Thanks all!
