I know we had this many times but all the threads on this is in the Broadband news section so I thought of creating one here as I could not find it

I will start with my list (Unrooted and no games)

ES File Explorer (Much better than Astro in my eyes)
AVG Free (Anti Virus)
Pulse (News Reader)
WiFi analyzer (Great for finding best WiFi signal in your house)
Tiger Arcade (Mame for Android)
Dropbox (File Sync portable storage)
3 Cube (Mp3 Player)
Mybroadband Android App (tapatalk)
Barcode Scanner
Evernote (Notes app)

How else do you use QT codes?

And I can always look for online prices on games in Google at the shop by just scanning the barcode so in short, yes.

These will be my top 10:

Palmary Weather Pro (Very good weather app with 5 day forecast widget)
Advanced Task Killer (You can select what background tasks to kill and how often)
Juice Defender Ultimate (Very customizable battery saving app)
Launcher Pro (Nice UI replacement)
Widgetsoid (Nice selection of customizable widgets and toggles)
Trapster (Very informative of accidents, roadblocks and speed cameras)
AdFree Android (Removes about 95% of all those annoying adds)
Samba File Sharing (File sharing over wifi)
Camera360 (Nice selection of effects and image enhancers)
News24

This might be a little bit picky, but does anyone know of a 4x2 weather clock widget with a 5 day forecast? I can only seem to find weather widgets with just the 5 day forecast, or with a clock and no 5 day forecast, only the current weather...
