What do people use to stream audio (podcasts specifically) launched via the browser or Google Reader? HTC's included ones are terrible (they pause playback when the screen is locked!), and Winamp is better but very temperamental when used to stream stuff off the net: for instance, if another application steals focus (eg if a phone call comes through), then it forgets it was playing the streamed content and starts playing stuff off its media library (ie. stuff on your phone!) when it resumes! Other times it just stops playing randomly, without crashing or anything, and I'm pretty sure it's not due to buffering issues either cause it even happens when I'm in wifi (and I don't see a "buffering" message either, it just stops). These problems only happens with streamed content, it works properly when you're playing stuff off your phone.

But anyway, a nice lightweight player that works PROPERLY with streamed audio?
 
You're missing the most important part of using the six axis!

You can emulate the dual analogue sticks for dual analogue ps1 games and the n64 analogue stick. I mean properly emulate it too, none of this 8 way only crap.

Chop chop and update the video properly ya slacker :-)
 
3g watchdog - keep track of your data usage
Boat browser - better than the stock browser
BSplayer - Good video player with gesture controls
Dolphin browser - another alternative browser, really well laid out with some cool features. I tend to use Boat though as it's faster
ES file explorer - the best android file explorer, as well as viewing your sd card you can access your LAN and ftp.
GPS status - shows GPS info
Poweramp - THE best music player for android
Quickpic - The stock android gallery is terrible, this is much better
TuneIn radio - online radio
