Sorry, but I like the Accuweather app. Gives me access to radar and current temps / conditions.

And I gotta love Ringdroid. Make your own ringtone from the MP3s on your G1.

It would be smart if they keep a database of what's been scanned by users with the location and price of the item. That would help them build up and maintain a more comprehensive list of items available at brick-and-mortar stores. And that way the more people use the app to scan items, the more complete the list of stores that sell those apps becomes.

I meant to say, the more complete the list of stores that sell those <i>items</i> becomes.
