Fluid – Your web browser is for web browsing.

VLC – the cross-platform media player and streaming server

CSSEdit – Design beautiful, innovative and fast-loading web sites…

Adium – Adium is a free instant messaging application for Mac OS X that can connect to AIM, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo, and more.

Flow – Flow is a stunning new FTP client built exclusively for Mac OS X Leopard.

Spanning sync – iCal, meet Google Calendar.

iStat Menus – monitors your entire system right from your menubar, with 8 separate and highly configurable menu extras.
