    LauncherPro, for a more configurable launcher
    Google Reader and NewsRob, when online and offline respectively
    Kindle
    ES File Explorer, probably the best file explorer
    AK Notepad, smaller than catch.com stuff
    Battery Left, uses history of usage to estimate remaining time
    Arity, decent calculator implemented as expression evaluator
    DoggCatcher, works far better than Google Listen for me
    Wifi Analyzer, great for e.g. surveying hotel wifi reception
    Compass, to guess what direction to walk in without needing GPS fix
        Very handy when e.g. emerging out of the tube in London
    Act 1 video player, nicer interface for playback
    3G Watchdog, fantastic to monitor b/w usage if you have a quota
    APNdroid, to disable mobile data usage for certain when roaming
    Extended Controls, to make settings handier to acccess
    Fuel Log Pro, to monitor gas prices and usage
    IP Cam Viewer, to check my home cams when I'm away
    Maps+, for cached (i.e. offline) maps access when roaming
    Micro Second, for monitoring clock drift. With root it can fix it, but I don't
        run root. My network time is about 5 minutes out, and my phone loses about 
        2 minutes a week.
    MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, far more flexible wallpaper
    OpenTable, Yelp and Google Places, to find somewhere to eat when abroad
