Having a project in my school investigating how smartphones can be used in teaching-learning process. We bought three Motorola Milestone Droid (android 2.0) and tested apps and using them in education.
So far we found lots of APPs that are exellent: Scan2PDF, gTask, FoxNote, Mobisle Notes, Seesmic, GoogleBuzz, 3banana, Gdocs, Aldiko, ActionComplete, wpToGo, PDFView, OffiView,Droidbox (dropbox)Meebo IM and Dolphine Browser just to mention a couple...
We encountered problem with our surfzone however and but are fixing it.
Another discovery was that the students was quite poorly oriented in the capacity of their phones and the most basic programs like calender and to-do lists. Therefor we have to develope a strategy and tasks that help the students methodically explore and use these programs.

News about the surfzone
Got a message from the IT-unit of Kungsbacka which told me my case was closed. After som mailtrafic with my boss, me, another boss and the IT-unit, I got "ok" from IT-unit of Kungsbacka to make an extra order outside their normal and formal obligation and order a configuration for a couple of smart phone models which will make it possible to use the surfzone. Finally.
Was at the IHM business school in a course preparing for 1 to 1. Last time I was there, I couldn't access their surfzone. This time however, they had fixed the problem, all within a short period. What can I say? There is obviously different standards and approaches in how to meet customers needs. I know at least who gainef the extra customers.
