How I Have Used My iPhone for Business

I use many applications on my iPhone for multiple purposes. But here is some quick tips on how I have used applications for business purposes. I believe these applications work on any iPhone though I am using a iPhone 3Gs with 3.0.1.

1) Jott: When on the road and needing to send a text or quick blog, I was able to use the Jott App to use voice to text service to do this.

2) Google Calendar: Using Google Email or Calendar as a bookmark saved to my homescreen. I have been able to view, create, edit or send calendar events using Google Calendar as a bookmark on my home screen. This site is optimized for mobile use which works TERRIFIC!

3) Twitterific: Speaking of terrific, Twitterific is an awesome Twitter tool to use as a mobile app for those who like to stay connected and send a tweet on the go. I have used this app to tweet while waiting for a flight in the airport.

4) Google text for 411: Now this particular tool is just so handy to me. I have sent numerous texts looking for a phone number to an establishment or business just by texting the words "GOOGLE" (466453) - the business name, city, and state to obtain a phone number or address. Example "Mosaic Coffee Seattle WA" and it returns a listing of all businesses with these words combination (must be in the same order that is). I get my request sent back to me via text with the phone number and address included. LOVE IT!

5) LinkedIn: I use LinkedIn more and more these days, so a mobile app for me to quickly update my profile or send a referral from my iPhone is handy, especially when networking with new people.

6) Facebook: Being involved as much as I can with Social Networking, I use the Facebook app for my business. I am able to update my status using Twitter. Also being able to send a message to a Facebook contact is useful.

7) Paypal App: Now this App is really handy when trying to send funds to or from your Paypal account on the go, without having to wait till you get home to your computer.

8) FileMagnet App: This app is very handy for me when I needed to view a PDF or Document on the go. I was able to read documents transferred directly via wirelessly while at a coffee shop.
