As for keyboard, weather, and browser, I like pcmkeyboard, weatherpanel, and opera 9.5. Must haves for me include resco file explorer, sktools, and spb backup to keep the system happy. Pocket plus for my today screen, and pocket informant for contacts, calendar, tasks, etc. MacFlo is a cool add-on for the cube (I use bigbutton supernova). Most is a matter of preference; download trials of software and see what you like. And have a blast!!
