Posting this here to get the widest response. I've a feeling there was a similar thread before but I'd never be able to find it :lol:

Got an Acer A200 tablet, still tinkering but so far so awesome. Anyway, which apps do you recommend (avoiding)? I need a good process killer for one thing*...

* There's a lot of them out there :shock:

These are for my phone rather than tablet, but:
3G Watchdog (free) - monitors and displays how much of my data allowance I've used
Astro file manager (free) - manages files and back up apps etc
Amazon Mobile for Android (free) - for shopping on Amazon
British Airways (free) - so I can check-in and get boarding cards on my phone.
Bit-Tech (free) - tech news etc
Compass (free) - don't really use it to be honest
Exchange Rates (free) - useful on holiday
RealCalc (free) - scientific calculator
PowerAMP (paid for) - plays FLAC and MP3's etc.
Facebook (free) - for accessing Facebook, not perfect though.
Advanced task Killer (free) - to kill apps running in the background.
Wifi Analyzer (free) - shows wifi networks and best channels to use etc.
Google Maps (free) - satnav etc
Google Earth (free)
Sky Map (free) - shows stars planets etc at night.

+ some games: Robodefence, Angry birds, Air control, Blow up, Jewls, etc

Oh, I also use this! Just takes a second to scan your downloads.

I like the slightly alarming message it gives:

"Lookout!

Everything is OK."
