Some apps that I haven't seen posted yet:
Everything I'm using is either a free or demo version (so far)
Games:
Pacific Wings: Arcade shooter like 1942. Touchscreen controls works surpisingly well.
Pac-Man Championship Edition: Update of the arcade classic. Touchsceen swipes to move, tilt controls don't seem to work.
Maze Runner: Pac-Man clone. Touchscreen works well for controls.
Frogger: An official edition. Works well.
Blast: Similar to Galaga, but not nearly as good as the arcade game. Controls are sluggish.
Invadroid: Similar to Space Invaders, quality similar to Blast above.
Radiant Lite: Space shooter, takes a number of elements from classic arcade games and reworks it for Android. Controls work pretty well, not a bad game. (As you can tell, I like classic arcade games.)
Jewels: Fun casual game. Pretty much just like the PC version.
Crazy Snowboard: Nice looking snowboard jump / trick game. Tilt device to steer works well. (I found that a lot of games that use tilt to steer don't work on the NC - Steel Wings, some race games, not sure why.)
Space Buster: Breakout type game. Works fine
Other Apps:
Calc+: Calculator with some more advanced functions like Trig functions, PI, Factorials, etc. No graphing though. Wish it had a larger input screen instead of just a single entry line.
Simple Spreadsheet: I haven't played with this much but it runs and seems to have basic spreadsheet functionality at least.
Mini Note: A very basic notepad app.
ETA:
Remote Web Desktop: Nice app for wireless file transfers and several other features. I've only messed with file xfers. Free version limits you to 2 files and 10MB at a time. But works slick through a web browser on your PC. I tried this and Wifi File Explorer and this one has a nicer interface but costs more for the full version ($2.60 vs $0.99). I haven't tried either paid version but RWD seems like it would be nicer for multiple files transfers vs Wifi FE's requirement that you zip to one file then unzip on the NC.
Droid Comic Viewer: Also called ACV. I know this has been mentioned before but let me say that this is a killer app for NC. Works great with .CBZ and CBR (so far all I've tried). You need to use an on screen button app like Softkeys or Button Savior since this runs full screen. Very customizable controls that once you get them set up how you like them, work great. I actually prefer reading comics on the 7" NC over my 10.1" Netbook screen. Pan, zoom, etc just work better with the touchscreen, IMO. Landscape mode does not fit to width of screen, unfortunately - I need to investigate more on that.
