Gmail is my first must have, I still depend on reading my email for notifications from other sites, colleagues, coworkers. The application is the best I ever used for email, is fast, got lots of options for organizing the incoming messages. Before this one I used Blackberry BIS Mail Service which is quite faster but not this nice. Gmail is the best email-inbox provider available for free with a lot of storage space and hopefully this application comes by default on most of Android phones.

Google Talk is another must have, it is linked with your Google account and Gmail contacts. It comes installed by default on most of Android phones. My primary communication application on mobile phone and at desktop.

Whatsapp is a must have for every smartphone user, from Blackberries to Windows Phone. The application I used before this was the powerful Blackberry Messenger (BBM) offered by RIM at their BBs but since it just works there when I migrated I started to use Whatsapp, still lots of people doesn’t install it and prefer BBM which is quicker, robust and awesome but not multiplatform, sadly.

Not many time has passed since Google Currents came up and is already an application that I love, you can get in an awesome user interface, recommended!

Twitter is a service that we all know, you can follow friends, artists, company profiles, etc. Get promotions, read the news, stalk your crush, follow the worldwide trends, etc.

Well, that are my essential apps and the most I use, just followed by Google Maps, Latitude, Foursquare and Instagram. As you can see I don’t have lots of stuff, but this is more than I need and have time for. Sometimes for school I get some extra apps like Cole’s Calculous Review, Electrodroid, etc or one-purpose apps like Kayak but them get deleted when I stop using them.
