IheartRadio, Pandora, root explorer, Vevo and XDA of course
Audiogalaxy, Battery Monitor Widget, DroidWall, Dual Mount SD, Opera Mobile, RealCalc (Best RPN Calc on Android), Titanium Backup (paid), Total Commander...
Following are apps that I find extremely useful, and may be paid and / or have a free version;
CalenGoo - My quest for the perfect calendar ended here.
gReader Pro - My quest for the perfect reader ended here.
Palmary Weather Pro
Chrome to Phone
Go SMS / Go Contacts (w/ Enterprise theme - which is AWESOME)
Uber Music (awesome player, no equalizer but there is apparently an equalizer app in the market that works with it)
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer
SetCPU
Chrome Marks (syncs with Chrome bookmarks - very handy)
Pano (my only camera app, best panoramic camera available)
Launcher Pro Plus / ADWEX
WidgetLocker
Tasker
Dropbox
SportsTap
Smart Keyboard Pro
Ravid - it's an app that makes video messaging as easy as texting. It's the perfect counterpart to Skype (which is the phone calling analogue, IMO).
Bird Bar - it lets you bring up the notification bar even when covered, with many options configurable in terms of where it can be triggered.
I'll bite.
In no particular order, other than when they popped into my head...
Tapatalk - because even though I bought the premium xda app, Tapatalk is still better. I use it for the couple of other forums I use too.
Titanium Backup - specifically the pro key. Best purchase I've made from the market.
Widgetsoid (2.x) - the best toggle widget I've found. Has tons of options, and I specifically love the mobile data toggle since it works without messing with my APN.
Droidwall - for allowing or refusing 3g or wifi connectivity to specific apps. I specifically use it to keep apps from syncing on 3g, or keep apps that have no reason for internet access from connecting.
Root Explorer - pretty much essential for any rooted user. I also like the ability to extract rar archives and choose individual files for extraction.
Call Confirm -.because I use a contacts widget and would accidentally call people all the time.
QuickPic - because default galleries tend to suck & I have a ton of folders that I exclude. It's by far the best gallery app out there.
PlayerPro - for music.
Desktop Visualizer - because it's awesome. I bought BetterCut when I first got my phone & it sucks in comparison.
ADW EX - is my default home app. LauncherPro is good too (at least the plus version) but I love the hidden dock on ADW & it's smoother for me.
SwiftKey X - because sometimes it guesses my entire sentence.
Alt Drawer - ADW doesn't use the icons I've set through my MIUI theme, and that bugs me. Alt Drawer looks better & has more options too. I use Quick Launch (Button Shortcut will also work and it's free) to open it when I long-press the search key. App drawer anywhere! I don't think it's in the market, you can find it on xda.
That's pretty much all of the apps I use other than widgets, Dropbox, gReader, Aldiko, WidgetLocker, system apps, and various utilities.

A tip if you are considering purchasing Titanium Backup. You can buy it from the Market but you can also buy the Donate version license direct from their website. The Donate version almost a dollar less expensive. It has the exact same functionality as the Pro version in the Market.
The reason I went with Donate: Titanium allows you to use the Pro/Donate version on all your your devices but it is much easier to do with the Donate version since all of your phones do not have to be linked to the same Market account.
I have went ahead and made a "top ten" list for my favorite apps from 2011, and I'm curious what your favorite apps from last year were. Let me know what you think!!
My opinion can be found here:

Yes it configures your bluetooth drivers to be compatible with the playstations3 hid bluetooth remotes. In a nutshell it pairs your playstation controller to your phone via a bluetooth mac adress that you match with your control via a windows app that the dev provides.

I only joined the Android party last April, but there's a number of great apps I find myself using all the time (in no particular order):
Pandora - I've been in love with this service for years, and the Android app is very solid
Rom Toolbox - Conveniently combines a bunch of features in one place. I only use the free version, and it's like a standard, very useful, Swiss Army knife. I imagine the paid version hulks it up to one of those inch-thick everything you might ever need in your pocket models. For me, the Terminal Emulator, Ad Blocker, Auto Start Manager, and Font Installer see regular use.
LastPass - While you have to pay to use the mobile client, it's really cheap and the convenience of having access to everything on the go is amazing. The app is comprised of two parts, really: a standalone browser for browsing to and automatically logging in to any site in your vault, and a system keyboard, which you can use to plug any of your logins into any app on your phone. If you're a Dolphin HD user, there's also a convenient browser plugin.
Waze - I typically use Google Nav when I don't know where I'm going, but Waze is amazing for user-generated traffic, hazard, police, and other information on your drive. I bring it up on my daily commutes so I can pick the optimal route to/from work, avoid speed traps along the way, and have an accurate, updated-along-the-way ETA for when the wife inevitably calls and asks when I'll be home.
Screen Filter - a sublime utility. qbking's video list didn't mention the widgets available with this app, which are my primary method of use. I have four different dimmer settings between 11 and 62% that cover just about every situation I regularly find myself in. A quick home screen slide and a tap and everything becomes much easier on the eyes in low light situations.
ZDbox - Like Rom Toolbox, this is an app that provides a handful of useful tools. It's my choice for app locking, batch uninstall, batch SD moves, and cache cleaning.
IMDb - I would die if I didn't have this baby handy for all the times I'm watching a show or movie and ask "where have I seen him before?!"
QuickPic - A stellar image browser with very convenient options to include/exclude specific directories on your file system.
Go Launcher EX - With themes, folders, widget resizing, gestures, etc., I love this launcher and its flexibility
AContact - I don't think I've ever heard anybody else talk about this alternative dialer/contacts; I stumbled onto it in the market one day and it's become my favorite for its clean, configurable interface
Woah can't forget GTA III

I'm loving AppBak. It makes a backup of your installed apps and when you restore it takes you to the Market for that app so everytime I do a fresh install of a Rom I can also install my apps fresh in a few minutes.

I have My Backup Pro not Titanium so I don't know but it only takes me about 10 minutes to re-download about 50 apps and there is only a small amount of data I restore. Then I end up with a complete fresh install which seems to be the starting point for solving several problems so I figure why not start there and try to avoid the problems in the first place.
Bump? i'd like to know what others fav apps are still! XD

Every device on XDA has one so why not us, so i thought i might as well bring it over to our side
I'm going to share some useful applications I have on my GS2.
1.Rotation Locker - It locks your screen to either Portrait or Landscape. Awesome app to have when playing temple run in landscape.
2. Rom ToolBox Pro - ROM Toolbox combines apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, ROM Manager, front changer, and etc. Basically your swiss army knife for a root user.
3. AdFree for Android - I hate annoying ads this app removes most ads in the browser and other apps.
4. MXPlayer - one of the best apps for viewing movies and online content if you dont want to use gallery.
5. ProPlayer Music Player - Awesome music player that support all music formats, built in EQ, allows you to change songs when phone in standby mode by just the volume button
6.Tweetcaster - Great App to use if you tried of twitter. other than that its a social networking app that needs no explanation
7. Amazon App Store - They offer a Free Paid App Of The Day (snag rom toolbox pro off of there this is a must have app) did i mention FREE PAID APP A DAY!!!!!
8. XDA App - No Explanation at all
9. Dolphin browser HD - To me Best web browser on the android market (Plz remember this is an opinion lol)
10. Audio Manager / hide it pro - If you have one of those girlfriends/wife that love going threw your phone (call log, sms, pictures.) This app is perfect for you. lets u hide pictures, videos, applications, messages, and calls in your phone in plain sight.
This is a community and we all have the same device so lets help each other out. If you want to know what's a good app is regarding your needs, ask in this thread and I, or others, will be able to help you out.
*NOTE* If you know any unique or useful applications dont be selfish and keep it to yourself, please add them in this thread so I and others on this thread can check them out. Hey you never know who you may help or surprise on this thread

I've been back and forth on task killers. The one I'm using now has a quick 1-click widget. I excluded all of the apps that should stay running for stability and other reasons and only have it setup to kill games and other apps that I don't want notifications from and don't need to keep running. It's quick and easy for me to just kill all the junk apps all at once. I have noticed a performance difference with it too.
I also use Autostarts to keep crap from starting up when I don't need it.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but I share my device with my kids (4 and 7). I've set up an user account for them and I've locked it down with "kid' s place ". They can only reach the apps that I allow and can't mess with any settings. You can also use the timer function to limit their usage of the device. Exciting "kid's place" needs (if you choose this option) a code too...
The reason why I use different user accounts is to allow them to have their own user data in shared apps
I hope this is useful to you...

If you update the tablet to Android 4.3 you could use a restricted profile
Hope that helps
One thing I just thought of is, you could use desktop visualizer and make big icons on the home screen for the apps that they would be using so they dont need to go into the app drawer and open up unnecessary apps (Or I suppose you can just take off a shortcut to the app drawer from the home screen with a custom launcher).
A setup I used when I handed down my old tab to my son (3yo) is smart app lock from thinkyeah and apex launcher with icon size set up for bigger icons - kidoz TV for kid friendly vids and use adaway to - well that's obvious.
I use zoodles

4.3s new restricted profiles would work well for this. I haven't tried it myself though.

3.search for some drawing apps
