aldiko is better than kindle and adw launcher is better than launcherpro but besides that great list
Arcus Dictionary i think is better then Dictionary.com, it doesnt require a Data plan to do look ups and is very fast
launcherpro is ok, zeam is better imho.

Having tried both, and several others (Zeam, Sweeter Home, and touchwiz) I stuck with Launcher Pro. Personal preference.

True. Launchers are completely down to personnal preference
Thanks for the list! I'll have my first Android phone (Captivate) coming in the next day or two so this will be very handy to refer to!
Thanks for the list! I just got a notice from VZ that I'm eligible for an upgrade (over a year early, so I guess they're really trying to sell those already unavailable Droid X and Incredibles...), and I'm planning on getting a new Android phone to replace my HTC Touch Pro2. Now I'll have a list of a few apps to try out!
Besides Dolphin browser, I would reccomend xscope. It is a free alternative to the regular browser and is pretty much just like Google chrome. Even set up to look like it. Not as much in the customization area as dolphin, buy definitely very easy to use, and most definitely faster.

I can't find Pandora Radio. Does it still exist?
Pandora radio is still on the market, if you can find it then use the link provided below to install it. You will need to use a barcode scanner app to scan the barcode. Once this is done it will take you directly to the app on the market and you'll be able to install it.

I agree, but Federico's work needs some work before its perfect.
Xiialive a lot better streaming music app than pandora, last.fm, or slacker. Pick from over 100 channels on shoutcast. So, less repetitive than the previous mentioned apps.
good list!
I like Gmote for streaming music from my home PC to my phone. You can do it over data connection (3g and 4g) or LAN. The only shortcoming is that it won't stream remotely via wifi, only LAN.
It also works as a remote control for your PC. Great for media servers!

If they can't find it on the market, another link to the market won't help. Could be Pandora is protected and their phone isn't showing protected (and likely paid) apps.

Hey guys,
We have just released our task app for Android called "Tasks", which features a beautiful ICS interface. We adapted it to all screen sizes and backported it to Android 2.2+ using the same visual design.
Features
Features include sync with Google Tasks and the use of the Android Ice Cream Sandwich design language.
Powerful
The application matches all the features found on Google Inc.’s online client for Google Task. This includes the support for several task lists, notes, due dates, rearranging by dragging and task grouping. Furthermore, Tasks is tied into the Android account manager and supports the parallel usage of multiple Google accounts. Also, users will receive notifications about due dates and can display task lists on their home screen via widgets.
Design
Tasks makes strong usage of the Android Ice Cream Sandwich design language, also referred to as Holo. From the beginning, Tasks was designed to run well across devices, be it a phone, a tablet or anything in between. Even though Tasks employs Android latest features, it runs on Android 2.2+ with the same set of functionality and the same design.
Launch video
A good overview of the features and design is given by our launch video:
Availability and Promotion
Tasks is available immediately on Google Play in two versions: paid and free. As a launch promotion, the paid version is available at a significant lower price during April. The exact price can be found on Google Play as it is subject to your local currency.
The free version is ad-supported and matches the paid version in features.
Tasks is currently localized to American English and German.
Google Play links
Tasks Paid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.teamtasks.tasks.paid
Tasks Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.teamtasks.tasks
About us
Team Tasks is a group of four Swiss Android developers. While they all have previous Android experience, Task is their first joint project.

Widget:
Will test later, but downloading now. Battery is almost empty. Oh, and the video is awesome.
Looks nice, will try it later.
Why no screenshots or video of the widgets?
Just added a screenshot of the widget
Thank you for the feedback!
Just saw the video. This app looks top notch.
I like how it looks. Works good so far. But before I would use it, i miss two options:
- links in tasks should be clickable.
- it doesn't integrate into the android sharing system. E.g. I'd like to save a website. With gtasks I just press the share option in the browser and share it with gtasks. It's then added as a task.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I really appreciate the account setup right when you first open the app. Some apps neglect that.
This task app has most major features a task app needs. The clearing of tasks animation is the cherry on top.
Suggestions/feature requests:
Add an All list that contains all or user-selected lists, like gTasks.
Dark Holo theme

I would like those features aswell.
I actually just uninstalled gTasks and will stick with this app
Really love the simple ICS style.
Are there more differences than the ads between free and pro?
On a side note, the widget only showed up after a reboot, but that might just be a fluke (using cm9 on gnexus).

The widget appearing only after reboot isn't a app bug. Happens with lot's of apps. It's random, at least with me.

I want this as well, to add support to Smooth Calendar. If you want to be THE tasks solution you really need a content provider.
calender integration
hi,
will there be a google calendar integration in the future?
where do I find this moderator page in your google+ page?
does anyone has problem after the daylight saving time? (I'm in Italy)
with or without checking automatic timezone\date & time I always have notifications before its due time.
Reboot or force close of the app doesn't solve the problem. I tried with other tasks app and this problem isn't there
for example:
It's 21:00. Due time 21:00: A notification appears and it says 20:00 as due time
It's 21:00. Due time 21:30: A notification appears and it says 20:30 as due time
It's 21:00. Due time 22:00: A notification appears and it says 21:00 as due time
It's 21:00. Due time 22:01: No notifications but after 1 minute I'll have one
Basically it's like he doesn't consider the new time zone.
The strange thing is that Google Calendar(on the web) has the same timezone\time of the phone so it shouldn’t be a problem
Also, not only I have this problem with my HTC One S ICS 4.0.4 but even with my father Galaxy Ace 2.3.6

Just click Thanks. Thanks for this great post. Do you know any app that can show reminder (a week ahead)? Just some simple and clean like the CM10 lockscreen calendar reminder? I search in Play and most are w/design or box around or take almost the whole lockscreen. Something like the CM10. Yes i can flash CM10 or ASOP ROM but i'm not interest in it since I don't like the camera. I like sense camera because it's a full screen when viewing. Thanks.
You might add Call Master to the list of apps. The most complete and best call/sms/mms blocker, firewall, etc.
To the widgets, you might add UCCW

Ya that is one game that do play once in a while lol.
Also I'd like to suggest the application "Android System Info" as well which does not require root. Since the majority of people here are obviously modding and such few new members actually follow the rules and read around and are oblivious to if they have an S3 or S4 One S. This app with give you information that allows you to determine this easily along with just about anything else you could ask for in a good format.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem with slider messaging on their stock sense V4+ JB 4.1.1 one S devices?
as you open slider messaging, a box pops up saying "unfortunately messaging has stopped" and the app just closes
Didn't happen with previous versions, but with the update just before V3.5, it started happening.
No one else seems to be experiencing the same problem
Most neccessary apps are aready on your list, but I'd add:
- Ultimate custom widget (most powerful tool for designing your own widgets, though a bit complicated);
- EveryCircut (absolutely a must-have for every engineer);
- Youtube Remote (remote control for youtube on your PC).
