Best *free* droid apps?

[Pikapi]

I know there are hundreds upon hundreds (thousands?) of droid apps to choose from, but I tend to stick to the freebies
So, that being said, what are your ... oh ... top five-to-ten favorite free applications?

I'll come up with my list in a bit. I'm still in the market daily!

If you could only have/recommend 5 APPS ?

The ones I use frequently:

Handcent (text messaging)
Weatherbug (weather)
Shazam( will tag and identify any music playing in your environment)
iMusic (find any song and play it or download it free on your Droid)
NPRNews (listen to any NPR program or to podcasts of programs on your local station or stations you happen to be near while traveling)
Stitcher(listen to streaming radio and podcasts)
USAToday(good news roundup)
KeyRing (scan all your discount and loyalty cards onto your phone, never carry the danged cards again!)
ShopSavvy (scan any barcode to compare prices in local stores and on the web)
DroidLive (another streaming radio app)
Pandora, Slacker--more streaming radio
MotherTED (Watch lectures form the TED conferences)
Tip Calculator ( breaks up a bill shared by multiple diners and applies tip)

On your PC, iTunes Agent (syncs your itunes with your phone)

I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones I can think of at the moment.

Is iMusic in the market? Can't seem to find it.
**never mind, I found it. It's 'i music' with a space.

In the Android Developer Challenge winners there's an app called SongDNA that I can't find in the market. Anyone know where to get it?
