FBReader for e-books. Maemo Mapper for maps (although OS2008 comes with its own non-open-source Maps app that I haven't tried yet). Maybe Canola for a media player with a slick user interface? Openssh-client if you're a geek/sysadmin. Apps to check out? FBReader for e-books. Maemo Mapper for maps (although OS2008 comes with its own non-open-source Maps app that I haven’t tried yet).

If you'd like calendaring support, then GPE Calendar combined with Erminig will do a 2-way sync with Google Calendar, which is pretty cool.
