I really like widgetsoid. It's an app for tons of toggles and allows you to customize it how you like. It's kind of like ADW launcher...but for toggles. The best part I like about it is the fact that it has the ability to cram 2 widgets into 1little grid space. Take a look at the memory + temperature widget below. The best part about it is that the app is free

There's a honeycomb tablet app that I also love to death, it's called Wizz. Basically Wizz has the ability to take all the information from your Twitter, Facebook, and G-Reader and put them in widgets. It's really cool because I never have to open up my twitter or facebook apps, with honeycombs scrollable widgets you can fly through the feeds. The widgets are also resizable =). It's free in the market, but if you want some customization options, you can buy the paid version. Check out the screenies below.

N64oid. Need I say more? Very well done, you'll see almost no lag if you're using a dual-core phone (and if you're using a SGSII, you basically play all games at > 30fps from what I hear.) On screen controls take some getting used to, but after a while they are a lot better than tethering a PS3 or Wiimote to your phone (plus, who wants to bring that crap with them when they're stuck on a bus?) $4.99 from the SlideME market (got removed from Android market due to Google deleting the developer's account. The guy also has a ton of other emulators (the gameboy ones are really great).

I'll be using the last section dedicated to Live Wallpapers and miscellaneous things. I'll get to that later.

Thanks for the spoiler tags. You must be a glutton for tedious work.

This really lays Android out for new users and gives them a taste of what they can do. It can be intimidating when coming from another phone OS.

I'm asking because I am getting my wife a tablet and the ones we are looking at only have a few GB of flash storage, although they do take SD cards.

16gb is more than enough for me, and I have 100+ apps.

Maybe a section dedicated to apps that use root would be cool, eh?

Opera mobile has by far the ugliest UI I have ever seen on a browser. I'd rather use the stock browser than mess around with that. But Opera is probably the fastest around, walks all over dolphin

That browser, at the very least, should HIDE the bottom menu bar at all times until you hit the "menu" button. There's nothing there that is so useful that it needs to be on the screen at all times. Tons of wasted space and it looks like a straight iOS port.

And that not the stock Android browser...

That will take for ever, how much does it cost to upgrade to pro?

Perhaps it might be more useful for those on inferior ROMs though.

What exactly does MIUI really have going for it besides it's launcher? Not being sarcastic, just curious...because it's based off of Cyanogenmod, no? If someone were to make a MIUI launcher, wouldn't you feel right at home with CM7 and the launcher?

Add ICS Browser+ and Nova Launcher to the list. They are ICS only apps though, but they really add awesome features over their stock counterparts. Anyone who has an ICS link should definitely try them out.
