Having fun with my new HTC Sensation phone and have installed only a few apps so far (Zipcar, WhatsApp, Swype).
What apps (not games) that you use daily to make your life/work more productive?
 
Must Have apps in order:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Advanced App Killer - This app nearly doubles your battery life by killing all background apps. A Lifesaver!

2) Dropbox - 'nuff said

3) Tiny Flashlight - Turns on all camera LED lights to max brightness - works really well. The other flashlight apps unnecessarily turn screen brightness up as well... that absorbs double the battery life and really doesn't help much.

4) SourceLair - C++ compiler. Works really well. I keep my programs in dropbox and fool around with them on the train sometimes with SL.

Non must-have apps. But I have them anyways :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) RealCalc - IMHO the best calculator for android

2) ColorNote - a useful notepad

3) Kaplan GRE Vocab - yes I'm done with the GREs, but after receiving my verbal score this app is a no brainer for me...

Games I have
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) TapFish - cute little fishtank game. They try to swindle you into spending real money. I purchase the fish that appreciate in value the fastest and resell them. My fish are worth over $1,000,000 as of yesterday :). You start with around $1,000. Not very productive but I only spend around 2 minutes a day on it.

2) Backgammon from AI Factory - My favorite game.

3) Yahtz Me - Yahtzee... the original poker.
 
plants vs. zombies has my subway time for the time being.

Opera Mobile is my choice of browser

Astrid is a must-have...

I also like skype.

apparently android doesn't require app killers, and gingerbread has made things even better in this regard.
