Nice inclusion of the QR reader. In Australia QR readers come pre-loaded on Telstra phones. I think the only way QR is really going to get any bigger is if more people have the readers.
Here's a new list, this time free apps for road trips and traveling in general. Enjoy!

Re: ScanLife, there's "Barcode Scanner" that I believe comes built into Android 1.6+ that will do the same thing and take up no add'l memory, if that's an issue for you (as it is for me, and lots of G1 users).
Re: Twidroid, I used to like it, but it's gotten buggy and crashy. Now I prefer TweetCaster, which has a more attractive UI and (AFAIAC) a more intuitive user interface. (And TweetCaster includes a photo uploader, so you don't need TweetPhoto.)
Some other great ones are CardioTrainer or MyTracks for mapping your walks/runs/bikes, and Qik for instant online video streaming/archiving.
Tim, great list and very popular! Congrats on making it to the top of the leaderboard.

The new GeoReader™ app for Android will enhance your road trip. I enjoy driving and always liked the historical markers that populate the side of the roads. Unfortunately, I never have time to actually pull over and read them. This app will allow you to hear about the landmark as you drive by. (This of course assumes that its in the database). As you pass through an area, interesting facts or information tidbits can be spoken to you as you move about town. Also, you can upload a point of interest (we call it a Talking Point™), so that others can hear and read what you've written! You can even post a photo for reference. Your personal sites can be distinguished for friends-only or for public viewing. GeoReader™ let's you know what's interesting around every turn ... you can become a connoisseur of your town, be entertained and learn while you drive, take a walk and let your phone be your personal tour guide. GeoReader™ will help you enjoy your journey and catch up on all the roadside attractions.
I still don't think task killers are a good idea. BUT, killing terrorists with a predator is a ton of fun! For some addictive arcade action try "Fear the Reaper" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fearthereaper

Timothy,
Good list here. I'll pass it along to my good friend who just got a Droid yesterday. Hey, download iTriage for your Droid and let me know what you think. Great app to have on your phone. Okay well, I do work for the two emergency physicians who created it, but I'm not being partial. It TRULY is a great app to have and is free.
