If Zombie Smash ever makes its way to Android you need to pick it up, Ed. I'm one of the few that actually don't like the full physical keyboard. They weigh down your device, making it larger and clunkier than necessary, and I find them to be more clumsy than the soft keyboard and wordcorrect (it took a little bit for it to learn my vocabulary but it works well now). I think a majority of the best apps are ported between iOS and Android (pending Apple's approval of the app, of course). I use a bar code scanner that does price comparisons (saved me money several times), I've had Evernote (but didn't use it), and use either Google Reader or MobileRSS (the free RSS readers for the iPad stunk).
