Ok, so I got my HTC Dream a week ago, i`ve been through the Android Market many times and basically I`ve got this :

eBook Readers :
aBook Reader – Not great, very close to uninstall at the moment
Audua eReader – My Current favourite
CadreBible LE – so I can show my dad a Bible, other than that, I don`t use it
jjReader – Can`t even get it working, gonna uninstall it

Games :
Alien Blood Bath – 2d SideScroller, not too bad
AndPipes! – Based on one of my favourite windows games, Pipe Dreams, doesn`t translate real well to android, but still fun
Beat the Joker Slots – Hey it`s a pokie
Amazed – tilt game
DroidDice – always good for when you lose a die for a board game
Solitaire – gotta have solitaire
Spin The Bottle – gotta make sure it ends up pointing to the wife

Apps :
aCurrency – Fantastic currency convertor
Android Gallery – Slightly better than pictures
Bartender – good for a list of cocktails, plus you can add your own
BlueBrush – painting program
Cellfinder – supposed to find nearest cell tower, going to uninstall this
Compass – its a compass
Farm Animals – makes various noises
FartDroid – it farts, and has a timer so you can set it and walk away
fBook – FaceBook Client, I`m not on Facebook, my family is trying to convince me
fIRC chat – gotta have an irc client, but I havent`t tested it yet
Flashlight – Great flashlight, just makes an all white screen at full brightness
Flower Pot – I`m trying to grow a plant
Konvertor – Cool konvertor app, converts units of measurement
meebo – IM client for MSN, AOL etc.
MemoryforLemmings – clears up memory
Moon Phase – shows phases of the moon
My Collection – supposed to be a good database, but I have over 1000 DVD`s and it wont import my CSV list.
My Backup – Great backup program for those unfortunate cases
Now Playing – Great app, links to trailers, movie info and now playing times at local cinema`s
OI Safe – Password Safe, it`s pretty decent
Remote Droid – app for controlling your PC, touch screen acts as touchpad, good for media centre PC
SciCalc – better calc than standard calculator
ScreenCrack – cool app, makes it look as though your screen is broken
Steamy Window – novelty app, steam up your screen then wipe it away
Stop Watch – good basic stop watch
Telnet – used for Rooting your phone, haven`t got there yet but I will
The Schwartz UnSheathed – Everyone should have a lightsaber on their phone
The Weather Channel – Good app for weather, can add multiple towns so I can see weather for all my family
TideApp – Good app for telling you the tides
Toggle Settings – has on/off for all functions
Toggle Blu – One touch BlueTooth on/off
Toggle GPS – One touch GPS on/off
Toggle Wifi – One touch wifi on/off
TriCorder – Star Trek, damn we need some light meter and thermometer in the G1/Dream
TuneWiki – supposed to be a good mp3 player, i`m not into music so much and the times i`ve used it, can`t find lyrics for my songs
TwiDroid – Twitter for Android, this one is pretty cool
Whatis My IP – Obvious it finds your IP
WikiMobile – Wiki on your phone

Still Looking for :
Decent MS Office program for Android – Both reader and editor
xvid player – hoping now paid apps in the US we will see a company release a player, I refuse to convert my 2.5Tb`s to Mp4
Video Recorder – the current app in the market is too buggy
eBook Reader – Audua Reader is pretty good, but has flaws, not great scrolling, no LIT, PDB, RTF, DOC or any other format support except HTML and TXT

So really, i`m having fun with my phone, I hope there is 3G access on Stradbroke Island, I`ve only got 6 more working days till holidays . Bye.
