Android Apps by Google

If you hadn't noticed, I'm quite a fan of Google and their products.  For one they are free, and I only need one account to access all the things most people do with 20 or so accounts.  That means one password for one login.  Easy as pie to remember one password over 20 different ones, and better than having the same password spread across 20 accounts.  So to help you become a Google nerd as I am, I will be sharing with you all of the Android apps that I know of that are products of Google.
Please note that some of these apps come standard on your device and some may not work because your device sucks in the hardware department.  Buy a Nexus.
