I just got a motorola droid (this is my first post using my phone). Any experienced droid owners have tips or good apps for me? Thanks.

Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
The ones I use the most:
FreeCaddie - if you play golf
Live Scores - decent gamecast tracker
Mileage - gas mileage tracker
Pandora - music player
Stocks - stock quote listings
The Weather Channel - self explanatory
Those are all free apps.
I haven't purchased MLB At Bat since I've been content with using the Live Scores app to track Reds games when I'm not around to watch/listen, but if a pennant race ensues this summer then I'll probably purchase it.

I use PureRSS to stay on top of all things internet. Shazam listens to songs and tells you the name and artist for those times you really wish you know that song. ShopSavvy lets you scan a barcode of a product and finds prices both locally and online for you.
I also use a different music program than the one that comes on the phone, but its just a personal preference. I second cyclone on Pandora though. It makes driving so much better.
Most that I was going to mention have already been listed (Pandora, ShopSaavy, Shazam). But I'll add Google Earth and I prefer Handcent to the stock texting tool.
The only app I've bought is MLB At Bat. I'd strongly recommend it.
Check out http://www.androinica.com. It's the best blog I've found so far for app recommendations. The nice thing about Android is that there are so many useful free apps out there, you can test drive them without obligation.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
EasyTether Lite lets you connect your phone to a laptop and use the phone's internet as its internet. You can also use this on you're Xbox 360 or PS3!

Some providers require you to pay for tethering. There are ways around it, but it is frowned upon by most providers. At&t used to be about the only one who included tethering in their data plan, but even they have started to charge for it.
The problem for those providers who do charge for it, there really isn't a way to tell if the user has been tethering. It used to be that they could tell if there was a spike in data usage, but phones now have pretty beefy browsing and downloading abilities so it is near impossible to tell. Still, you are breaking the terms of service agreement.
