Is there anyway to list all the applications installed on your phone and the permissions they require all on one page, or export the list so it can easily be audited?

Use market applications like Permission Watchdog or Permissions. Also, there are several others.

Unfortunately, Market application has a bug (or intended feature?) when not all permissions are listed when installing the application. This may a compatibility issue with software designed for older android releases... code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9365 – Denis Nikolaenko Dec 2 '10 at 13:49

perhaps including comment into you answer would be simpler. – bbaja42 Dec 3 '10 at 16:36
@Nikolaenko, apparently it is on purpose and changed now: android.stackexchange.com/questions/605/… – BlackShift Dec 24 '10 at 14:30
@BlackShift, what do you mean by "changed now"? Changed by Android dev. team? – Denis Nikolaenko Dec 27 '10 at 13:26
@Nikolaenko, I think I was unclear because it is unclear to me. I'm running cyanogenmod 6, android 2.2, and almost all apps ask for the permissions that your link claims are implicitely granted. So I don't know who changed this (cyanogen or android team). – BlackShift Dec 27 '10 at 14:45

Another app that I ended up using instead of Permissions is RL Permissions. I prefer the interface. As far as which one works better, I don't know.

aSpotCat is also a nice app for permission audit.
