The thread is far from final. I still have a few things I would like to work out design wise, but its finished enough to be posted.
The Pimp My Captivate thread exists, but the OP has admitted to no longer having access. Not only is a thread far easier to update, but it is also more user friendly in my opinion. If you’re just getting your phone I suggest checking out that thread.
This is my first time doing one of these, so any suggestions on arrangement would be appreciated. I'm modeling this off of the one in the Rhodium forum (skyler17 and this is the thread).
I plan on updating the post, but I'm not installing every application on my phone to provide information on it. When you suggest an addition, please provide a few words about the app and why you think its notable and any requirements or known incompatibilities the app has (requires root, another application is needed, Vibrant vs. Captivate, etc). For example:
moTweets: Easily now my favorite Twitter client. Free version w/ some ads and a paid version for $3.99 without ads. Twitterers unite! (freeware)

QR codes may get added later, but not right now.
This first batch of apps came from the pimp my captivate pdf. Not all of them are here since I do think there is good information in the pdf, and you should read it.

About Asphalt please note that so far only version 3.1.3 is using Hardware acceleration with our phone.
I haven't found anywhere which has a good list of RSS Feeds which are good for us XDA type people.
Interested in both normal RSS Feeds and Podcasts (i.e.Video, Audio).
I would also like to know if there is a way to get the XdaTv videos using a podcast too (to me this would be the obvious way to distribute them).
To get things started, here are some of my favs (I may add any I particularly like here - with credit of course).
Details about the feed items, such as are they complete articles or shortened versions (i.e. you have to visit the site to read it all), how often are they updated, general description etc would also be useful.
Keys:
UPDATES: DAILY+, DAILY, WEEKLY+, WEEKLY, MONTHLY etc
ARTICLES: DETAILED, FULL, SHORT
PODCAST: VIDEO, AUDIO
==================== Normal Feeds ====================

==================== Social Casting ====================
Facebook
You have two options:
1) The RSSTab (WinMob) (see signiture) has a special ability to create Facebook feeds using the Facebook API of your News, Notifications and Friends walls, as well as ability to comment, post and like each entry directly from the RSSTab.
Here are basic details of the functionality:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14336549#post14336549
2) Facebook also provides some limited feeds directly:
Notifications:
Code:
http://www.facebook.com/notifications.php?id=[YOURUSERIDNUMBER]
Friends' Facebook Links
Code:
http://www.facebook.com/posted.php
Friends' Facebook Notes
Code:
http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?friends&id=[YOURUSERIDNUMBER]
Friends' Facebook Status Updates
Code:
http://www.facebook.com/friends.php?s&id=[YOURUSERIDNUMBER]
Obviously the data you get will depend on the account previously logged into facebook and the related person's privacy settings.
Twitter
You can add the following feeds to view your twitter's.
RSSTab Twitter Feed - http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=rsstab
Code:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=[username]

Basically a case of finding the profile ID and adding it to http://plusfeed.appspot.com/:

The quest continues...
The XdaTV podcast is up and running nicely. I aim to update it every week or so, so videos will probably appear in blocks of 3-5, depending on how up to date I am with my viewing. Simply can't recommend it enough, great things are a-happenin.
I've also added Lifehacker, a new podcast from the site of the same name, looks good so far, plenty of polish and shine, but interesting so far.
In addition to this, I will experiment at some point with a "feed of feeds"...the idea being that new podcasts and rss feeds will be put in a feed and the RSSTab will then detect the feed urls in the rss posts and give you the option to add it to your feeds. It could be an interesting way to share and enjoy new rss feeds and podcasts.
I've not seen it before, but I would be interested to know if it has been done or not.
In fact, the concept of the "feed of feeds" could be quite interesting as anyone could create a list of favorite feeds, which could then be added as a list too, so you get a "feed of feeds of feeds"...ok!
Now added the official XdaTv Podcast feed!

So, we're supposed to understand that last part?
Btw would it be possible to put the XDA podcasts on iTunes? That's my usual route when it comes to podcasts so it would be more convenient for me.

Most of that is out of date, since we now have a proper podcasts.
The last part, is some thoughts I was having for sharing podcasts around since I find it a hassle to find good feeds online and then transfer them to my phone, google reader etc etc, since mobile devices aren't too great at finding and checking out feeds.
I don't think there is any reason why we can't put the XdaPodcast on itunes, but it's only been released today (as I've just completed the app for updating it).
Once we are confident of the update process then it'll get posted, as it makes sense to be sure it works and we can keep it updated quickly.
PS: The feed is quite easy to add manually, as I tried to make the url as easy as possible!

I've just updated the first post to include information of Social Casting RSS Feeds, using the instructions provided you should be able to easily be able to set up feeds for Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Also if you are a Google Reader user, if you use the above feeds, then it seems like google will fetch the data using their own servers (which for me means my work web filtering does not block them!).

Sat Rad Player is a WP7 application that allows you to listen to your Sirius or XM subscription on your WP7 device.
You can use the application for free in trial mode which is fully functional, will never expire, but includes advertisements. Purchasing the application will remove the advertisements permanently.
Marketplace link to US version for US based Sirius/XM subscriptions
Marketplace link to CDN version for Candian based Sirius subscriptions (sorry XM isn't supported currently)
Please Note: In order to use this application, you will need to subscribe to the Internet Streaming option available from Sirius/XM.
The current version does not have access to every channel available through Sirius/XM. This is due to Sirius/XM not keeping their legacy streams up to date after a channel reorg that occurred early last year. I’m working on trying to get these additional channels added to the application. You can find a list of channels available at the following link:
Currently Available Channels
Features
Channel guide data is constantly updated so you know what’s playing on each channel at a glance
Capability to store a list of Favorite Channels
Background Audio – listen while running other tasks on the phone, or while the phone is locked.
When the app is running in the background, navigate to your next Favorite channel in your list by using the mini controller’s Back/Forward buttons. Hit the volume button to bring up the mini controller.
Channel guide quick select – easily search for and navigate to a specific channel
Hot List – like the song you are currently listening to? Add it to your hotlist, so you can remember what that song is for later, and if you like you have the option of purchasing it from the Zune Marketplace to download directly to your phone.
Support for both portrait and landscape orientations.
Theme aware – adapts to the theme you have selected on your phone.
Bluetooth Support - great for when you're riding your bike or motorcycle
Choose between High/Low Quality Streams (US version only). The setting is remembered by Channel.
If anyone has any ideas on what they would like to see in the next version of the app, please let me know! I'm very receptive to other's ideas.
And for any issues relating to the app, or any questions, feel free to post them here, use the 'Email Support' button within the app itself, or send an email to [email protected]. I'm fairly quick in responding to support emails.
Hope you enjoy the app, below are a few screen shots of it in action (click image for larger size):
