Productivity Applications
Productivity Tools
- The Economist magazine wrote, "Zoho is the most comprehensive suite of web-based programmes for small businesses ...". Now that it’s available for the iPhone, you can bring your office wherever you go.
- Torch also offers a project management application that lets you organise all of your communication, files, tasks and more in one place.
- Create and manage charts using Charts;
- Create, view and share presentations with Keypoint; and export your PowerPoint slides to your iPhone using Mac Office 2008.
Manage tasks
Strange but true: the iPhone doesn’t come with a Tasks app. But you can create to-do lists in your notes, or you can use apps like 43 Actions (allows updates via email, Twitter or Jott) or [1].
Track time and expenses
The iPhone version of Harvest allows you to track your time, enter expenses and more.
Calendars
If the iPhone calendar doesn’t do it for you, try Google’s or 30Boxes.
Take Notes
There are lots of choices here, including GlueyNotes, Evernote, RemoteNote, Thumb Jot and of course the one that comes standard with the iPhone.
On The Road
Access files remotely
- If you need access to your computer while you’re on the road, you could do worse than use SugarSync, which CNET has dubbed “the most useful sync tool ever.”
- Another way to upload and share your files is to use in.solit.us. According to BusinessWeek, LogMeIn provides "simple and secure access to your computer from just about anywhere." And with Google Docs, you can access your documents wherever you are.
Get directions
You can always use Mapquest or Google Maps to get directions, but the iPhone’s keyboard is not the optimal input device. Instead, you can send yourself directions from your workstation. Send Google Maps directions to your iPhone’s email address, and they’ll open in your Google Maps app.
Language translation
Translate on the go is a simple app that offers a quick translation between two languages. Learning a language is a bigger commitment but you can listen to free language courses from iTunes on your iPhone.
Find things to do
Use an app like Outalot or Where Traveler to see what sort of restaurants, shops and other fun places are around. Schmap offers free travel guides that are optimized for the iPhone. StreetFlow lets you find good restaurants near where you are and rate them, plus see the ratings of others. If you want to order food quickly and easily on your iPhone, try CityMint.
Locate free wifi hotspots
Just what every road warrior needs: A directory of free wifi spots around the U.K.
Pay the right tip

Get reading
Once you get used to the form factor, you can get a lot of reading done on your iPhone. It helps to have a reader app, though. Check out Google Reader for a basic tool. Reader and Instapaper are two other offerings. And the iPhone’s free Stanza not only allows you to read but has a library of free books for you to download — including children’s books.
