Dropbox -Great file sync tool
KeepassDroid -- Great password keeper.
OI File Manager (lets you see files on the phone and on the SD card
and helps KeepassDroid work better).

unnecessary programs)
unnecessary programs)
Android System Info (tells you everything that is running and how much

memory or CPU is being utilized)
App 2 SD (moves apps to the SD card saving memory in the phone)

Nice to have apps:
Barcode Scanner (should already be there but if it isn't this is
amazing app to have. You can scan any barcode and search for it on the
Internet. Good to compare prices with)
ChromeToPhone (Allows you to send links from your PC's Chrome Browser
to your Cell. You have to install the extension on your browser first,
then install the app, log in and connect)
CityCallerID (not to be confused with the stupid program that is
loaded on your phone already and wants you to buy their service. This
is a freeware that looks up numbers that call you and tell you where
they are calling from. This has to be installed from your computer as
it is not on the Market). You will have to do a Google search for this one.
Discount Calculator (tells you how much a discount will save you on a
price, including tax)
Evernote -- this app allows you to create small notes and sync them
over the Internet so you can access them on your PC as well.
AKNotepad -- Great app to make a quick list or note that you don't
need to sync with anything. I do quick grocery lists using this.
Google Sky Map -- This app eats battery while it is running, but run
it and point it at the night sky and it will tell you what stars
planets and constellations are above you where ever you are on the
earth.
Pandora -- Internet radio app. Pick an artist you like and hear music
by them and others like them. Pandora.com is their web site. You need
to create an account to get maximum use out of it. Uses battery and
data so don't use it a lot.
RingDroid -- Turns any MP3 into a ring tone. Awesome.
The Weather Channel -- Good app for the weather in multiple cities at once.
Uninstaller -- After you get tired of an app, you can more easily
uninstall it with this app.
Wifi Analyzer -- This app is great to find access points near you. If
you phone doesn't have a 3G signal but you have wifi, this will tell
you what is available around you.
YellowBook -- Good yellow pages app for Droid.

Calendar Snooze: Android's built-in snooze for appointments can disappoint. This one is a lot better and gives you more options.
