I know there's a sticky at the top of this forum for this, but it's dated and (IMO) virtually useless, soooo...

What apps would you tablet owners never do without? I plan on using the GT2 (10.1") for eMagazines/books, some games, occassional browsing. Not a social media user, nor will I use it for movies or TV. TIA!

  • Google Authenticator - Enable 2-step verification for your N10 so that you can disable the whole system from afar if needed
  • Android Hardware Info - Very small app that tells you everything about your new toy
  • Explorer - File manager that's the smallest and the fastest, and the least intrusive
  • Kingsoft Office 5.3.3 - Free Office that happens to be better than paid ones
  • Floating Stickies - Nice sticky notes that stays afloat on other apps
  • Dashclock Widget - Stylize your widgets and home screen, very easy to use and looks great
  • DicePlayer - My pick of video player on Nexus devices. Plays everything that MPC-HC plays on PC except .swf.
  • Kindle - Self-evident ^^

How does Kingsoft Office compare to OfficeSuite 7 Pro? Picked up OfficeSuite for a dime on that 10Bn/dime sale.

No, CM 10 is fine, as I will probably root the device and may want to try custom ROMs. Thanks for the other suggestions, and please, keep 'em coming.

Kingsoft Office, StickIt (Pop up video player that allows you to play videos as a popup window or as audio in the background, works with youtube).

Recently updated Office Suite Pro v7 is better than Kingsoft Office in my opinion. Kingsoft was better during Office Suite Pro v6's time, but v7 changed things a lot (huge improvement for Office Suite Pro). Kingsoft office is better than Quicksoft Office (which has phone and tablet versions separate), though.
