Unless otherwise noted, all were dl'd through the Amazon App Store.

Works on my Woot PE:
Jewels
Bubble Buster
Twitdroid
Uninstaller (because I wanted the widget in my taskbar while I was playing with apps)
CoolReader - http://coolreader.org/e-index.htm - midway down the page is CoolReader Links with a link to the .apk
GDocs v. 8.14 - this was a PITA to find just the APK for but I found it here: http://www.freeware4android.net/htc-...get-20714.html Midway down the page on the right is 'Download GDocs for the HTC Hero' - that version works perfectly. I love this program. It allows offline editing of Google Documents and syncs when you have a connection again.

Does Not Work (or, I cannot make it work and have given up in frustration):
Google Books Android APK - installs, but when opened says '0 Google Account' and there's no option to add one - won't synch through the PE.
TweetDeck - even the older version.
Google Docs - sort of. If I need to read a document, it works fine. It does not allow me to edit a document at all. Caveat: I have the same issue with my mobile phone, so it's not an Entourage issue. And I have a slide-out keyboard on my phone, still won't work, so it isn't a touchscreen keyboard issue.
Any of the main free barcode scanners - they install and open and a second later they force close. No error note. The few whose apps have worked, the camera on the Edge is so crappy that it can't read barcodes anyway. QR Android lets you load from saved images (and is one of two apps that didn't crap itself the minute I tried to open it after install), so in theory you could take a pic with your phone or camera, email or dropbox it to your PE and open it that way. Found this out looking for the GDocs apk - everywhere I went directed me to either the barcode or the Android Market. Grrr!
