nice list...should be a sticky..... (hint hint)
Thats a real nice list. I saw some **** that made me go damn!!!
DroidG is great
WARNING: If your battery life turns to crap after installing a bunch of these programs, Winamp is probably the culprit. I installed a few weeks ago and my battery life suddenly sucked. I used the system monitor app to see what was going on and found that Winamp was taking huge amounts of processor time even though I had only opened it one time and wasn't using it. Huge battery hog. Unistalled and I'm back to good/great battery life.
I highly recommend that system monitor app if you've got battery issues. Much more reliable than the built in "what's using my battery" screen. Turn it on in the morning and by afternoon you'll know what's killing your battery.

My favorite messaging app is "hike".

I use it instead of WhatsApp, because I feel it secures my data more than WhatsApp.
It isn't very popular atm, but I think it's an real alternative to WhatsApp.
