Nowadays, Cell Apps are getting attention in every tech magazine and it seems that you are either dumb or too naive if you don’t know a good deal about Apps.

Ihone took the lead in making Apps popular followed by blackberry. Iphone has now more than 100,000 Apps with a great number of downlaods , more than 1 billion. Although Android is quite new as compared to Iphone and blackberry but it is catching quite quickly and already has more than 17,000 Apps and lot more to come in coming days. Essential Android Apps varies with your taste and preferences but i think following Apps are more or less popular with all users(you can disagree but not much :) ).

Astrid:

A nice file manager and todo list for those who find it hard to remember things. It syncs smoothly with Remember the Milk.

Google Maps:

Its really hard to get lost with google Maps in your hands even if you are on foot.

YouTube:

PreInstalled YouTube App on all Android phones

Quick Search Box:

Right on the main screen is quick search box on Android phones wheren you can search contacts,Apps and Google by typing or speaking.

Google Voice

Have just one number for all the world with Google voice. Record messages in voice and text, free SMS and cheaper international calls.

Google Contacts:

All Google contacts in gmail are automatically synced with your Android phone which is really a great relief.

Amazon:

Shopping can be made very easy through this App. Products scan(photo or barcode) are remembered so that it can be bought later.

Pac Man

Pac Man, historical and one of the most famous game is a must for game lovers

Astro

Astro is an Android Task manager to kill useless background application to run the phone at top speed. Astro is also a pretty good file manager.

Facebook:

A must have Apps on every smart phone, so how can you miss it on Android. Does not need any intro or does it ?

Flixster:

Flixster is all about movies, whats being played in the theatres, reviews and ratings. Every movie lover need to have it.

FxCamera:

Free camera application with photo effects like Polaroid, Fish eye etc.

Goggles:

In my view this a revolutionary Appf or visual search. It can show information about books, buildings, places,business cards and even art work.

There are many more Google applications(Google Calendar, Google Finance,Gogole Earth, Google Shopper,Google Talk, Google Buzz,Gmail) and third party Applications that i like to mention but i think its enough for one post.
