- Command-tab to the Finder
- Shift-Command-A to bring up the Applications folder
- Type in the first few letters of the app (e.g. "saf" for Safari)
- Command-O to open the app -- or more elegantly, Option-Command-O, which will close the Finder window at the same time.
[robg adds: This is a simple hint that combines a few nice features of the Finder to make for fast application access. Of course, if you really want to launch things quickly, you can use something like LaunchBar or Another Launcher (now Butler) -- you can get to any app (or document) with a few keystrokes. But the above solution is built in to every copy of OS X.]
