NY Times Editors Choice--I really like this one. Enough news for me, nice formatting etc.
USA Today--Ok, but I don't like the design of the app much, definitely wouldn't pay for it when they start charging.
Movies--the iPad version of the Flixter iPhone app. Has the Rotten Tomatoes scores, access to their reviews, trailers, showtimes and can link to theater pages to buy tickets.
Epicurious--very nicely designed free cookbook app.
Urban Spoon--just update of the iPhone app, nice for finding a new place to eat in your city (or when traveling).
Marvel and Comixology--good comic apps. Though iPad screen size is a tad small so some comic's text is a bit too small in full page view. Fine in panel by panel view, but stuff is blocky then from being zoomed in on. The .99 cent to $1.99 an issue prices are too much as well, especially for old comics that you can buy in a trade paper back to get long series runs together for $10-20.
AP News--decent news ap, interesting layout, has pictures and videos as well.
BBC News--love their news, don't care for the layout of this app so much though. Same with the NPR app.
Atomic Web Browser--nice to have tabs, generally works fine. Run into some odd issues here and there. Biggest is it doesn't work with the Novell Groupwise Webmail to check work e-mail for me or my girlfriend. Loads the in box, but can't open messages, or scrol through messages. Site works fine in Safari.
That's about it off the top of my head. My girlfriend likes some game where you pick out the 5 things different in two pictures side by side--but I can't think of the name. Also a decent solitaire app I downloaded--just plain old Klondike solitaire, but works well. Forget the name of it as well since I tried a couple before settling on one.
