My favorite apps

Let's see:

1. Pandora - during my walk to school I always flip on some tunes
2. NPR - Sometimes I'm more in the mood for News
3. Helix Launcher - best home app ever. I love the double tap to see all of the home screens in thumbnail form
4. Atumble - to post to my tumblr
5. AIM - used to use meebo, but after having the same bugs for several months, I decided to go with a more stable client.
6. Barcode Scanner - this comes in really handy
7. Beautiful Widgets - I love my TF2 clock (found that here )
8.Dictionary.com Widget - I like the word of the day.
9. Blow Up - Fun game with physics + pandas. What more could you ask for?
10. Speedx 3D - awesome and addicting game.

I also like goggles, the various emulators etc.

My apps seem to be the very common generic ones : / but I guess they are common for a reason
