I’ve had my HTC Legend for about three weeks now, and thought I would share some of the more useful / interesting apps I’ve found. Please feel free to share your own in the comments!
Google Maps
Comes default or can be installed / updated from the Android Market. Amazing turn-by-turn GPS navigation. ’nuff said.
Evernote
Create text, audio, or image-based notes and have them propagated automatically to your desktop or laptop. Great tool if you need to jot down a quick note and remember it for later.
Foursquare
Addictive social game, integrates with Twitter and Facebook. Become the mayor of your favorite burger joint! Some businesses in bigger cities are giving special discounts or other prizes to their Foursquare mayors.
Facebook for Android
The world’s most popular social network right on your phone.
Twitter
Everyone’s heard of Twitter by now. I’ve tried a few different clients, but none seem to match the simplicity and usability of the official client.
DoubleTwist Player
Probably the best media player app on the market, beats the hell out of the default. There’s also an iTunes look-alike application you can install on your Mac/PC to create playlists and convert your library.
Barcode Scanner
Handy tool for scanning QR codes containing contacts, download links, and more! You can also scan the barcode on the back of almost any commercial product, and be taken to the Amazon page for that item.
Drop7
Really, really addictive puzzle game. A combination of Tetris, Sudoku, and Connect 4.
PocketCloud
Currently in beta. Pocketcloud is a Remote Desktop (RDP) and VNC client. An indispensable tool if you administer Windows servers, or if you want to remotely connect to your desktop at home while you’re on the road.
Google Sky Map
Really awesome application for the budding astronomer. Point your phone to the sky and learn the names of the constellations and planets you’re looking at.
OpenSudoku
Best Sudoku game available for Android by far. It’s open source, which means if you run into a bug, you can actually fix it yourself!

Gotta say. strange that you posted all free aps but the game, find a free one as well. I can give you those as well.
I’ve added Open Sudoku to the list because I do play it a lot, but as far as I know there are no free alternatives to Drop 7. I don’t mind paying $2.99 for a game or app I use regularly. I’m sure I’ll have to pay for PocketCloud once it comes out of beta.
