WeFi Pro - Automatic WiFi Wifi scanner with connectivity. Also finds listings of nearby, but out-of-range hotspots.
Adao Task Manager (by Adao) My fave task killer. Some killer apps kill too much, some not enough, but this one kills just right without having to fiddle with too many settings or guess at sizes. Just make sure your phone app is on the ignore list if you use the "auto-kill" feature so you don't drop calls.
