With another holiday season come and gone, Android fans are beginning to raise a stink about a specific feature that is not on their industry. "Gift this app" is available, but only with an Amazon Marketplace workaround. Source of article: Android users asking for app gifting feature

Airdroid lets you connect to your phone via wireless, not as fast as USB, but really convenient.

Nova Launcher, gives you a bunch of features that ICS left off

ChromeToPhone - instantly send links, etc, from your chrome browser to your phone.
