MindScape SimpleDB Management Tools
This is a Visual Studio plug-in. Those who work on Microsoft Platform will find it useful as they will be able to work with Amazon SimpleDB in a familiar environment. As I have a Microsoft background this is my favorite tool so far.
The free version has a limit of returning 20 results when writing queries, which is ok for those who want to explore Amazon SimpleDB. Full version is $29 per sit

Bolso - Amazon SimpleDB explorer
Bolso is a frontend utility (GUI) tool that allows you to view the data you have stored in the Amazon SimpleDB web service. It works for Windows and Mac OS X. 15 days evalutation version is available and the license costs only $20
SimpleDB Explorer
This is a standalone tool. It has been out for quite a while and should be quite stable. One of the advantages of the tool is that it is multiplatform and available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The price is $34.95 and volume discounts are available.
You can download fully functional 30 days evaluation version http://www.sdbexplorer.com/
Firefox plug-in
For those in love with Firefox there is a plug-in for the popular browser. The tool is absolutely free and the source code is available on Google code under Apache 2 license
More info about the tool and how to download it is available at http://bizo-dev.blogspot.com/2008/12/open-source-simple-db-firefox-plugin.html
SimpeDB Manager
Just came across yet another Amazon SimpleDB tool and decided to update this post. I have not downloaded it yet, so I don't have a screenshot yet. Apparently it is Windows only and requires .NET Framework 3.5, not sure what features of 3.5 those guys use. Anyways you can download a 30 days trial version and you can buy it for only 19.99 - limited time offer.

Even though SimpleDB is still in its infancy there are quite a few tools already for every taste. I am sure there are other tools to emerge over the time as SimpleDB will gain popularity.
If there is anything else I am missing please let me know.

Since your compiling a page of SimpleDB explorers you might want to add the gui tool Bolso to the list.
Oh! thanks so much for the hint! Will try to post as soon as I can! ;-)
