I think about 1% of apps require too much permission and 0.1% are actually trying to be malicious about it.

My list goes:

Google Chrome Beta
Gmail
Facebook
Twitter
Spotify
GasBuddy
Beautiful Live Weather
Podkicker (podcast catcher/player)
Tapatalk (read the cellar on the phone)
Alarm Clock Xtreme Free
Speed Test
Dropbox
Barcode Scanner
Google Wallet (killer app, only on Nexus phones)

My thoughts too.

Here are my apps so far.

Daybreaker live wallpaper
Dolphin browser. (I've not had time to explore the reasons why this is anybetter, faster or more fun that the default browser.)
Kindle ( no books yet )
Cartoon camera.
Aparatus lite ( not played it yet )

Have you read about Apple's plan for the next (Mountain Lion) version inclusion of "Gatekeeper".

There are User settings, but the default is to allow permissions for approved developers,
and notify the User if Developer is not on the Apple listing. The User can then decide to override or not.

The beta reviews for ease of use so far seem quite good.
