Here are some I found very useful...

Appbrain - This app allows you to surf the app store from your PC. It keeps a current list of all the apps on your Droid. Comes in handy if you replace your phone with another Android phone.

Mobile Defense - This allows you to lock a lost phone from a web browser. You can see on a map where the phone is located if it's stolen or lost. You can also turn on alarm to find the phone that slipped into the couch cushions. Soon you'll be able to wipe it remotely.

ShapeWriter - A very nice keyboard replacement with swipe capability.

PDAnet - A tethering program that allows you to use the phone as an air card for your laptop or desktop.

Urbanspoon and Yelp - To find food, shopping, hotels, etc. easily.

Touchdown - If you need to connect to a corporate Exchange server there is none better.
