Contacts -> The built-in service is nice. I don't know if anyone has made it easy to convert from a Palm address book yet, but if you can push contacts via Bluetooth that is probably the best approach.
List Manager -> you have the Tasks default app--or you could consider using an online Web 2.0 tool like http://www.toodledo.com since the N900 web browser is strong enough to render it successfully.
Email -> As far as the built-in email, it's called "Modest" for a reason, but there are other email apps that will be ported.

dictionaries -> I am looking up translations more than definitions at this time. A bookmark to http://www.wordreference.com/fren is working well, but the under-development gTranslate app looks like it has promise.
Password Manager -> pwsafe (I should do this conversion myself.)
mp3 players -> many choices. Start with the built-in media player, then try Canola.
