iPad/iPhone Android phone/Tablet app recommendations, son

Inspired by movie recommendation thread...

An app for your smartphone is like an asshole - chances are you got one or you know someone who got one. So, recommend/warn away.

Recommend:

Obviously, the obvious ones out of the way first:

Pandora
Skype
Facebook
Google Earth
Netflix
Showtime on Demand
Angry Birds
Kayak
Sling Player

Moving to less obvious ones:
2X - best damn damn RDP client and it's free! If you work with Windows and/or want to have windows on your iPad - setup your Win7 system to allow it to be remotely controlled, load up 2X on your ipad and get your Win7 desktop on your iPad. Faaaaaaaantastic!

Osmosis - very cool and very chill game, especially if you're the kind that enjoys planets, trippy apps, etc. Great for a come down/chilling. Sadly, too short and gameplay gets a bit repetetive after a while. So, only for those moments when time seems to stretch indefinitely.

Wireles Keyboard Mouse - if you have a Mac/PC that you use for media center, connected to TV - this app will allow you to use it as a remote keyboard and mouse. Wooot!

Air Display - for $10, use your iPad as an extra display. Got 3 displays? Make iPad your 4th. Also useful to mirror what's going on on your screen but with touchability. Cool app.

Notability - great app for writing down notes, with recorder feature. Good for meetings/lectures/etc. Only $0.99 - worth much more.

Animoog - Awesome, fat and lush synth by Moog. 'nuff said.

Korg iElectribe - bought it back when it was $10 - nice toy, if you're Electribe fan/like making beats.

What do you recommend?

For android phones, you'll want an app called 'Player Pro'

Its completely customizable. It's way better than *any* mp3 player software i've ever seen.

AContact - great third party dialer (especially if you don't have the Touchwiz one)
Airpush Detector - useful for detecting apps that spam you
Dolphin Browser - only browser that's worth anything on Android
Kingsoft Office - for all your doc, pdf, xls, etc needs
Mantano Reader - useful reader meant for PDF books (better than kingsoft in that regard)
Pansi SMS - nice texting app. Gives you the option of using the modern chat bubbles or the old school way of texting (inbox, outbox, sent, drafts)
MX Video player - plays everything I've thrown at it
Transit Now Toronto - if you live in Toronto and use the TTC then this is a MUST. Real time GPS tracking of streetcars and buses (you can see where they are on a map + there's a counter)
Tonido - browse your PC file system remotely. stupidly easy to set up.
