A parallel exercise I'm (personally) interested about is to have a better idea of what is essential between the "thousands of apps" and the "hundreds of thousands of apps". What really matters, what is nice to have and what is pure junk (to avoid, actually).
I don't go App crazy, but here's what I've tried and liked on Android:

- Banking Applications (self explanatory), such as BofA, Citi, Chase, more. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...bm93LmJvZmEiXQ..

- Porn Sounds (the sounds are very good. I get a great laugh playing these in public settings). https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...9ybnNvdW5kcyJd

- Draw Something, a game by OMGPOP, turn-based pictionary game. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...AuZHN0cGFpZCJd


- Amazon MP3 store, though Nokia Music is going to be available in the US soon. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...WF6b24ubXAzIl0.

- Shazam (records music you are currently hearing, sends it to a server, and retrieves the song information. Very useful for new songs that you would like to download). https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...0uYW5kcm9pZCJd

- ShopSavvy - a bar code scanner that uses user-contributed price listings for online or brick and mortar stores to help you save money based on the scanned SKU to find the item. I've saved a lot of money using this application. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...aG9wc2F2dnkiXQ..

- Google Translate (I work in a Vitamin store, and although Chinese is my second language, it is not in the normal vocabulary set to know how to say 'thyroid,' 'Gymnema Sylvestre,' 'Acai Berry,' 'Collagen,' and more. While there ARE MeeGo apps that translate to Chinese, I can only read Chinese characters up to a 6th level grade, so most of the time I can't pronounce what is shown on the screen. Google Translate provides PinYin, a romanization that is easily read based on sounds rather than characters.) https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...RyYW5zbGF0ZSJd
