You can use Beebplayer for BBC radio (Apart from 5Live) so it's not all bad.
I use the SkyNews app and that's brilliant I think. The videos are crisp clear and load seriously fast even over 3G.

Potentially, though it looks to be mired in red-tape at the moment:

That is really quite annoying. Hopefully all complaints will be ignored since they are ridiculous.
This would be nice!
There's a london underground app (including DLR) with live timings from each station, for those interested.
Then again, it was simply making an app which accessed this data

Don't think a similar thing exists for national rail.

I don't know how the radio topic came about but no one answered when I asked if there was an app for listening to 5 live and 5 liveextra
Guess will just have to wait till wunder radio is released for Android, it's ment to be in the works tho not dates as to when its out.

I've had 'AppBrain' installed for a while now.
It's basically an addition to the App Market, and allows you to sync your apps online, uninstall them with ease, notifies you of new updates, and also allows you to view the app market online, where you can then install apps from scanning the barcode on the screen. Very handy and useful little app.

It is (GUIi-wise) identical to taskiller except it is missing one (for me) critical feature of letting you see all the apps, not always hiding ignored apps. This lets you do stuff like make your browser ignored so it isn't automatically killed but you still see it on the list so you can manually kill it when you aren't using it anymore.

There was an article written by one of the android devs where it went into detail why "task killers" are bad and not necessary.
Will try dig it out and edit this post to include the link.

Yep, task managers are bad, which is why AutoKiller is good, because its just changing Androids internal killer. Developers don't (shouldn't) have background tasks running if they are not doing anything useful!
Interesting bit from the article linked above:
