Phone applications, permissions

I think if you read about three pages of reviews and nobody is complaining about permissions or security, it's probably good to go.

I think about 1% of apps require too much permission and 0.1% are actually trying to be malicious about it.

My list goes:

Google Chrome Beta
Gmail
Facebook
Twitter
Spotify
GasBuddy
Beautiful Live Weather
Podkicker (podcast catcher/player)
Tapatalk (read the cellar on the phone)
Alarm Clock Xtreme Free
Speed Test
Dropbox
Barcode Scanner
Google Wallet (killer app, only on Nexus phones)
