To add to your list: - consumersearch.com: they summarize product reviews; their "fast answers" save TONS of shopping time - yelp.com: although most used for restaurant reviews, this helps me find everything from auto mechanics to CPAs - Unlocked Sony Ericsson C901: small, capable camera + phone without the typical smartphone distractions; 5mp + xenon flash - lastpass.com: great password management software - padmapper.com: great housing search tool - mint.com: monitor/analyze all your financial accounts from a single location Cheers!
