List of Android apps I always find myself going back to/can't live without

So a friend of mine just recently purchased his first android phone.  With my advice he went with a google galaxy nexus which if you know me you know I just traded my Razr maxx for a galaxy nexus the other day.  I had to re download all of my apps for the new phone and since I recently got a galaxy tab 10.1 I also had to re download for that as well.  Point of that is I'm pretty familiar with what I use on the regular and need to survive.  That being said I'll also be including at least 1 tablet only app which will cut out a good deal of my phone apps. Just so you know this is not  reviews its a list. I'll also tell you what other hardware I'm rockin'! Game on!

Hardware: Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA Verizon) phone, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi tablet, and HP Pavilion dv6 computer.



Tablet Apps: I decided to start with this because it will make most of my phone apps obsolete (most are camera effect apps)

Photoshop Touch - photo editing app



Phone Apps: What you've been waiting for... Quite a few are paid but it will give you an idea of free ones

Amazon App Store - free app of the day is mostly crap but sometimes you get lucky
APW (Widgets) - Great set of widgets that I use just for the calendar widget

So folks there you have it my list of must haves.  That is by no means my whole app collection as I do have a problem and keep downloading them.  I must confess I'm a live background junkie as well so maybe a post on that in the future. Hopefully this is a good start for some of you out there so get started and android your face off!!!!!!!
