These are almost all great apps, I am especially fond of Angry Birds and Evernote. Netflix on the other hand wasn’t very useful once I had watched everything that was of any interest to me. For streaming TV shows and movies Ill stick with the DISH Remote Access app. It allows me to connect to my Sling Adapter and DISH DVR over 3g, 4g or WIFI. I can stream any of my live TV channels and I can stream my DVR recordings as well. I was just speaking with a coworker here at DISH today about how I couldn’t believe that the Sling Adapter is just $30 now. It won’t be long before we start seeing people watch TV everywhere they go.
Shazam and WhatsApp are my favourites till now. Gotta try the Twist player. Thanks for sharing!

I once downloaded the Facebook application on Android and I saw only a few issue. The News Feed loads very slowly, like 3-5 minutes which prompts me to open up Facebook on the laptop. Aside from that, chats and notifications does not update live. You either have to go to another page or profile before the ’1′ sign on the notification and chat buttons show up. I do hope they fix this soon. Anyways, the list was great and I totally agree with the other 9.
