Default Must have tablet apps?

Finally got with the times and purchased a Nexus 7. Was wondering which apps you all have found to be the most useful/user-friendly/enjoyable. A couple that I like....



- Flipboard

- Apex Launcher

Apps on the tablet in my car:



Apex Launcher - notification bar accessed via double tap, custom screen size 6x6, 7x7, etc.

ES File Explorer - File Manager, View files on device and share via Bluetooth between phone/tablet

HD Widgets High Res (custom clock, custom switches)

SwiftKey 3 (tablet version separates keyboard, I didn't like it. Used regular version. Custom keyboard colors)

Sygic GPS or NavFree (offline GPS)

Torque Pro

Ultimate Rotation Control - Landscape Mode locked

WiFi File Explorer - transfer files between PC and tablet

4Shared (like torrents for android apps) - Use sparingly. Apps can easily be repackaged with bad/malicious code. No way to verify authentication of app.

YouTube Downloader plugin - To get videos on tablet, hard to find (use 4shared)

Jumpgate Free Live Wallpaper (it's just cool)

Volume Control + or Slider Widget - Volumes (control volume without button access)

"Reboot Widget (root)" - Restart tablet without button access if it messes up
