Hovernote for Android tablets is the app that made it to the title because of the fact that, thanks to some practical thinking on behalf of the developer, the note-taking tool seems to “get” productivity.  The application runs in the background and the use can access it by just tapping a hotkey or button, rather than having to tab out and open the app each time.

Hovernote by mjlim addresses user demands by floating in the background and opening up a note tab whenever the device holder wants – whether they’re browsing the web or using another application. Notes can be written and text files can be opened and saved natively.

Nextcall

Nextcall can be considered an analytics app in some regards. It tracks your call history and displays the last time you rang a certain contact, such a client. All in all it has the potential of proving handy in a variety of situations.
