Default Android Tablets - App Recommendations?

Just picked up a Galaxy Tab yesterday. I've discovered that several apps I use on my phone don't always translate well into the tablet format. It hasn't been anything critical,so I'm not looking for specific app replacements, more just wondering if anyone can tell me what is really useful and/or fun.

I can't recall the name of the app and my Xoom is at home but there's an app where you can hold the tablet up to the sky and move it around and it will show you the constellations and stars, etc. Pretty neat.

If smartphone apps work on it then:

Dashboard Assist
Chapelle Clayton Bigsby
Kindle
Scanner Radio (gotta listen in on those pesky popo)
Skype (I wonder if it does video chat?)

If you like old NES, super nes, sega genesis games, then those emulator apps are great fun.

It does do video chat, although Google talk works pretty well.

SmugFolio is a cool app if you want a SmugMug app that stores local copies of your photos and loads more quickly than the official app. Great for me - saves on printing my entire portfolio lol.
