I have been using below apps regularly on my Galaxy S with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). So thought of sharing the same.

GO Launcher EX: The best launcher for android offering lots of customization. And it’s free!!! Launcher is equivalent to our Desktop theme on PCs.

Opera Mini / Opera Mobile: The best browser for handheld devices. Mini is suitable for 2G/3G networks and Opera mobile is for WiFi.

QuickPic: Best thing about QuickPic is, it’s very light on memory and is very fast/responsive

Saavn : Bollywood online music library. It’s fast and simple. Works best on 3G and WiFi.

Kaspersky Mobile Security : Antivirus for Android mobiles. Not free but worth buying.

MyBackup Pro : Not free but thought of having one for disaster recovery. This does not require root access so no issues of loosing your warranty.

AndSMB (samba client) : This is a handy SMB client for Android. You can access files on your laptop when connected to WiFi.

Calendar Snooze : Default calender available in Android does not provide snoozing option (not sure why this support is not there in Default calender ). Anyway, happy with this Calendar Snooze utility. I am still using the free version which displays adds.

Facebook for Android

Skype : As on today, this seems to be the best video chat app.

Scan to PDF Free : Free app to quickly scan and store the documents in PDF format.

SwiFTP FTP Server : Make your android device as a FTP server. Useful for quickly uploading/downloading files to/from other devices/PCs

SwiftKey X Keyboard : Best keyboard available for android devices. Provides smart spelling suggestions while typing. I felt, my typing has really become faster after I have started using this. Not free but I felt worth buying after using the trial version.

Tiny Call Confirm : Somehow I could not find any way to disable voice search on Android. Because of this, while using the Bluetooth headset sometime voice search was getting activated and it used to automatically dial. Using this Tiny Call Confirm utility, now I can avoid any accidental dialing.

Okkkk, so this was my big list of favorite apps. If you have any suggestion or comments, you are most welcome
