Top Ten iPhone Apps for the Business World

If there is one thing most people can agree on, it would be the fact that Steve Jobs provided the business world with one of the greatest creations, an Apple iPhone. Whether you are an attorney, doctor, small business owner, or CEO of a Fortune-500 corporation, the iPhone can single handedly make your work day easier, more organized, and frankly, more entertaining. Millions of applications have been produced, and quite a few have received honorable mention from New York Times, Forbes and the bloggers of the world. For those of you who need on-the-go access to your files, presentations, inventory, and agendas while away from your desk, these ten apps are for you!

DropBox: Meetings, conferences, and lunch dates often take you away from your desk and leave you unable to check documents that may need your approval or review. Dropbox allows you to transfer PDFs from your computer to your cellphone without the stress of having to run back to the office.

Evernote: Let’s be honest. Business people constantly have to schedule events, charities, meetings, and lunch gatherings while also attempting to maintain some sort of personal life outside the conference room. Evernote is a New York Times Top 10 Must-Have App Winner. Take notes, create to-do lists, record voice memos, and capture photos that inspire your next project. Throw out the heavy planner notebook and keep yourself up to date, while saving yourself the headache of missing deadlines.
