OO! oo oo! I have SO MANY apps. For, you know, JUST IN CASE I might need them. Which phone did you get? (I was just bemoaning the fact that I was looking forward to the dual-core Bionic...when I read an article about the up-coming *quad-core* phones. D'oh!)

The fun ones include: The Wilhelm Scream and Tricorder. Flashlight. Useful ones include Kindle, Nook, (and Aldiko if you want). Amazon app store app, they give away a free app every day. Get a different web browser like Skyfire, the native browser sucks. Swiftkey or Swype keyboards, whichever is available for your phone. Audible.com app. All the Google-branded apps. Pandora. Netflix.

To see all the apps I personally consider worth getting, check out my list at:

(Appbrain is a useful app as well!)

Just so you know, I think I read the average number of apps is like 35 or so. :) I'm apparently an app-hoarder. You probably want to get Lookout, which is a security app -- you know you're living in the future when your phone needs antivirus! The Astro file manager is also useful for poking around on your sd card if necessary.

Just be sure to use your wi-fi anytime you're doing anything data-intensive, like streaming video or listening to Pandora.

There are many many Android news sites, all of them give quality advice on apps; the Amazon Android market is also helpful.
