I know there have been several threads asking what apps are optimized for tablets, but I thought a definitive list along with market links is in order.
Obviously, for right now the majority of these happen to be listed as "tablet" applications on the Xoom's market. That said, I've found at least several that are properly optimized for tablets/3.0 that aren't specifically listed as such. If you find any others, I'll update them to the list.
***NOTE***
I can not vouch for the quality or functionality of any apps here. While I have installed and ran most of the free ones, I am going off of your recommendations, user reviews, and developer screenshots/features lists for most of the paid apps.

Tapatalk works great and so does google TV remote if you have google TV. They are not in optimized but work great. I do find some don't work right or fill the screen.

While I can understand the utility of a list for those that aren't optimized but work well, the list would be freakishly long. In fact, it's easier to compile a list of current apps that don't work on 3.0 tablets-- there's one stickied to the top of this forum.
On a sidenote, RDP by xtralogic was broken yesterday, but I sent a report to the developer who published an update today and now it works great with Xoom as well.
Thanks for compiling this, nice! Still awaiting the Sports Illustrated Magazine app previewed myself. And supposedly Google Body is a Web site:

Google body is indeed a website when accessed from pc, but it isn't compatible with the Xoom's browser (don't think hardware gfx acceleration through the browser exists yet in android) and should be released as a standalone app.
Add USA Today to the news apps they released a tablet version yesterday that rocks.

I can't seem to find this USA Today app on the market. The only one I seem to find is the phone version that crashes when it loads on the Xoom..what am I missing?
Never mind..found it. Curious that it doesn't show up in the Tablet Apps section in the market.
