If you liked my article on the purchase list for moving from windows to mac – you might want to follow it up with a list of business apps that you can use on your iphone to work with your mac.

As always, the list is in the order that I use them:

  1. Evernote: This is a great note-taking application for your iPhone. Your notes automatically stay synched with the peer application on your Mac (which is a great application in its own right). Besides, its free !!
  2. OmniFocus: Perfect companion to your mac version of Omnifocus. Note new action items and complete action items anywhere. Must-have if you are fan of GTD.  Syncs automatically with your desktop.
  3. TripIt: Now available for iPhone. forward your trip emails (from airlines, hotels etc) to tripit and have then available as organized trips with offline access on your iPhone. Very useful for people who travel a lot.
  4. Kayak: Look up the cheapest fares and hotels or book the next flight home while you are in the cab going towards airport !! Call airlines or hotels at the touch of a button (they have phone numbers for all of them)
  5. LinkedIn: Your LinkedIn on the phone !! Learn more about the person you are about to meet or search contacts in your network on the fly !! And yes, its free.
  6. RowMote: So okay. Using your iPhone to flip your powerpoint slides for every little meeting gets old soon but its still worth doing it for those big conference rooms or large meetings. Works with both Keynote or Powerpoint (also controls FrontRow, DVD, VLC and lots of other apps)
  7. Yelp: In a new area and do not know what will be a good place to grab lunch (or dinner of your favorite cuisine). Why not go where locals go – using Yelp!!
  8. Tip: There are dozens of tip applications in the appstore. Some are even free. But i like this 99 cents app. Its has the highest rating of all tip apps and it am
  9. Cheap Gas:  Find the cheapest gas prices near you. So okay, company is paying for the gas in your rental but you can still use the app to find the nearest gas station (and if there is one across the street that is 6 cents cheaper, it wont kill you to use that!!).And yes, its free.
  10. Bloomberg Mobile: Catch up with the day’s business news. Review your stock portfolio. On the go.
