Must Have Apps for the Nook Tablet

With more people picking up the Nook Tablet (which is not to say anything bad about the iPad, I mean, that is the gold standard...and it is also quite expensive and some of us have other priorities), I wanted to share the apps that I fine invaluable.

Dolphin Browser HD
A very good web browser to use in addition to the mobile browser that is built-in.

Dropbox
Dropbox is one of those tools that if you do not have it already, I have to ask why not?

Friendcaster for Facebook
Since there is not a native Facebook app yet, this may be worth the $3. It is good but not great.

Lose It!
A great fitness and diet tracking tool.

Pandora
Like Dropbox, if you do not have this, what are you doing on the internet again?

Pocket Penguins
A live feed of the penguins at the California Institute of Science. Penguins are awesome!

Seesmic
A Facebook and Twitter client that is okay and usable, especially if you want to stay in one interface.

Stitcher Smart Radio
You do not know what Stitcher is? Really? *sigh*

The Oregon Trail
The classic game that a lot of us (if you are under 38) played in grade school. It is a great way to kill time and my nine year old son loves it.

Twitter
Like Dropbox, Pandora and Stitcher, it is Twitter. Do you really need an explanation?

Urban Daddy
Urban Daddy is awesome. The people behind Urban Daddy are awesome. This app is great, especially if you are looking for something fun to do in the cities that it covers.

ZMPP Free
Remember Zork? Ayup...Zork on your tablet.

(Yes, I would love a native Facebook client as well as the Google Suite. Hopefully those will come soon.)

And yes, if you decide to root your tablet, you have full access to all the Android apps that are out there, and it is apparently easy to do, but this is a resource for people who want to use their Nook Tablet as they received it.
