I haven’t had my Android phone for that long (4 months and counting), and since buying my Android phone (Samsung Moment) I have been going app crazy. I download, and uninstall, a few of apps a day, but there are only ten that I use regularly. Here are my 10, most used, Android apps (they aren’t in any particular order). All these apps can be found in the Android Marketplace by searching for them: 

Urbanspoon

I find myself using this app when I’m out with friends. If you can’t decide where to eat then Urbanspoon can help. Shake your phone and Urbanspoon will suggest restaurants near you. You can keep on shaking until you find a restaurant you’d like to try.

Barcode Scanner

You can scan barcodes on CDs, books, and other products, then look up prices and reviews, or search for a word in a book and find where it occurs. You can also scan QR Codes containing URLs, contact info, calendar events, etc. I find myself using this all the time when I’m in Best Buy and/or Target.

AppBrain

It’s finally possible to install Android apps from a web interface. One can browse the app market on AppBrain’s website, from any desktop computer. You can even use this app to install and uninstall apps with a sync. AppBrain’s interface is better than the office Android Marketplace, and I find myself using AppBrain to search for and download apps. Here are a few of the apps’ features:

- app recommendations
- share apps (eg twitter / facebook)
- hot apps
- use “Fast Web Installer” for one-click install from web

Movies

Movies is my favorite movie app. You can get local showtimes, reviews, trailers, and even manage your Netflix queue.

Twicca

I’m a Twitter maniac, so I need a Twitter app that does everything fast and easy. Twicca does just that. It’s still in beta but it works like a charm. The best thing of all is that it doesn’t have any ads! Here are some features:

-Notification
-Search
-Post with photos/video upload
-Geotag
-Recent hashtags
-View Conversation

The Weather Channel

This is the first app I launch when I wake-up. This app grabs your location by using GPS and shows you weather in that area. You can also get weather alerts and much more. Give it a try.

Price: FREE

LauncherPro-Beta

Give your Android phone a little more style. LauncherPro gives your phone a super-smooth scrolling, animated screen previews (like Exposé or HTC Sense), up to 7 home screens, app drawer (2D and 3D!) with a fly-in effect and smooth scrolling, and scrollable shortcut dock. Since this app is in beta it does intend to crash (only happens to me a couple of times a week), but it isn’t a huge problem. The program just closes and starts right back-up.

Price: FREE

Wikimobile

You can now be a walking encyclopedia. With WikiMobile, you carry 2+ million Wikipedia article, including pictures. Uses just a fraction of the network data vs. the Android browser. Very good, and easy to use.

Price: FREE

MyBackUp

I backup my phone once a week, just in case, and this app is the easiest way to do it. You can backup to MyBackUp’s online secure servers or your SD card. You can backup your applications, contacts, call log, bookmarks, SMS\MMS, calendar, settings, home shortcuts, alarms, dictionary, music playlists, and much more.

Pirce: $4.99 (You can try it, for free, for 30-days).

Ride Hopper

Ride Hopper tells you the wait times for rides in over the 260+ theme parks around the United States. You can even help by submitting wait times while you at a theme park. I’m a huge Disney nut, so this app comes in handle when I take a trip to Disneyland. 

Price: $.99
