Anyone got a Nexus 7 whether for christmas or not is of no relevance to me, I just want to se what apps people have downloaded, what apps you have found to be useful.

Forgot to say the apps ive already downloaded are tune in radio pro, hukd, documents to go, iplayer, task killer, amazon kindle and amazon mp3.

    One app I'll definitely be adding though is the Kindle app.

    TuneIn Free (I have the Pro version on my Ipod, but we haven't associated a card with the Nexus yet, so haven't bought any apps yet).
    VLC
    Kindle
    Facebook
    Some recipe apps
    BBC Iplayer (and the associated Media app)
    STVPlayer (ITV Player says it's not compatible with the Nexus yet)
    TVCatchup

    And the daughters have downloaded a couple of games (Nyan Cat and Fruit Ninja).

    I have on my nexus 7:
    Taptu - viewing news of your interest (can be used offline after syncing)
    First aid by British Red Cross
    File Manager
    GTasks - integrates with the tasks on your google calender
    Power Toggles
    UK Bus Times Live
    MX Player
    RAC Traffic

    P.S: Task Killer - no use as it kills the process but then the process comes back to life before being killed again, thereby consuming more battery resources - still debatable but I've un-installed it....

    You could try asking a little more graciously.

    I got mine on Christmas Eve and so far have downloaded several that I all ready had on my iphone:

    BBC News
    Kindle
    Angry Birds
    Pocket Informant
    BBC Iplayer & Media
    Odeon cinema
    Vue cinema
    Met office
    Cooperative bank

    In addition I've downloaded:

    isyncr (to sync my itunes music library to an android device)
    Guardian
    AVG free

    What I'd really like to find is a budgeting app that will sync betwen my iphone and my Nexus 7- I use Graham Haley's Account Tracker on my iphone and find it brilliant but he doesn't do an android version. Can anybody recommend one that is easy to use and available on both platforms?
    and several others
    Halifax Credit Card: [STRIKE]£4915[/STRIKE] NEXT Directory: [STRIKE]£1980[/STRIKE]
    JD Williams: [STRIKE]£1984[/STRIKE] British Gas: [STRIKE]£394[/STRIKE] First Direct [STRIKE]£2985[/STRIKE]

    Was thinking about installing the Mobile app for Bank of Scotland (who I bank with). But why on earth do they need access to Social Information (read call logs and contacts)? They can go take a spin!
