    After posting this, a few months later I bought one. I wasn't sure it would be very useful .. but I do actually use it a hell of a lot.

    Cooking -> Epicurious app for recipes
    Music Mod -> replaced my mp3 player
    My Tracks -> track my running
    GTasks -> organise my tasks
    Calender -> organise my life
    Gmail -> Email
    Dolphin Browser -> web
    UKRails -> train times
    Navigation -> GPS / cycle routes
    AndChat -> irc
    SMS Schedule -> send the SMSs I need to send at the right time
    Linode Android -> control my VPS instances
    ConnectBot -> connect to servers using SSH
    BBC News / NYT / HackerNews -> news
    Ebay -> ebay stuff
    WIFI Tether -> use my mobile's internet with my laptop over wifi

    It's amazingly useful. Bit worried about becoming too dependent - but then it's the same for computers. If computers weren't around I'd be in trouble - I'd need a new job for a start.
