Business applications on iPhone

August 6, 2010

You never know how useful something is till you actually get down to using it. That is what happens with some interesting business based applications on iPhone. Once you have them installed you will wonder how you got by all these years without them. The World Flights application is quite a good one for those who travel internationally quite a bit. Keeping track of flights, their arrivals and departures and more importantly their delays can be difficult. With this application, you will have all the details you need for the airport nearest to your current location. The beauty of this application is that it is easy to navigate around with. It is also available for a decent $1.99.

You love your iPhone, but its small keypad is getting the better of you. It has been frustrating for many. That’s why you have the Full Screen Keyboard (version 1.0.1) available. This application has the look and feel of the iPhone keyboard except that it is magnified by 100 per cent and covers your entire screen. This is what makes typing easier. Available for $1.99, this application can make business communication all the more better.

We all know how businesses can get. The number of contacts you make are immense and sometimes keeping track of them can be very difficult. You lose tracks of names, corresponding numbers and sometimes email addresses. In such cases, the ContactsPlus XL is an application you can use. The real plus point with this application is that it can be loaded to your phone and it will immediately use the contents of your phone book. No need to load numbers into it. You can choose to have your contacts listed out by name and number or by company or by several other parameters. Another plus point is that it easily imports Google contacts and syncs it with the phone. Available for a $1.99, this can really be a lifesaver.

Are you a frequent flier and are never able to keep track of your flying miles. As a result you end up losing on some great deals? Well the mileBlaster is an application that can easily sort this issue out for you. The application, once loaded, will require that you set up an account. This can be done easily. Once done, you add all your frequent flier accounts to this application. Once done, it will automatically update your information for every flight you take. Life made easier at $5.99.

Applications for entertainment

August 6, 2010

Not everything on your iPhone has to be related to improving your productivity or entertaining your kids. There has to be something to keep you entertained as well. For starters how about the addictive Farmville by Zynga. If you are already addicted to the game, then this is a great way to have the game on the go. If you are yet to try the game out, there is no better time than this. It is now a free application. The first time you log in, you will have to create an account if you don’t already have one on Facebook. Once done, you are can be a great virtual farmer.

Work getting the best of you and you are unable to shoot a few baskets with your buddies, then iBasket may just be for you. This game can be started anywhere and at any time. It tests the number of virtual baskets you can shoot in a given time. You have the options to playing the game with sound effects or without it, if you don’t want to disturb your co-passenger on the subway. The game is controlled by a minimal number of buttons. You have two options in terms of version, an ad-based free one and a ad-free $0.99 version.

Sometimes, when bored, you need a game that can challenge your senses. The deadlock puzzle is one such. It is a game that is quite difficult to progress in but one that can keep you engrossed for hours. All you need to do is fit the pieces displayed into a peg shaped board with the various shapes. It will take a long time to get through the first level and this may tend to put you off, but again, the game is quite engrossing. Available for $0.99, its worth having around.

Secret Agent is a game that goes back to basics in terms of platform games. You have a gun and who wouldn’t love that. The aim of the game is simple, shoot as many of the bad guys as possible to get to the Big Boss. This game has hours of potential and each level goes through scenarios like a warehouse etc. For those used to a lot of action in their games, this can take a while, but it is an engrossing to own at  $1.99

Information-based application reviews

August 6, 2010

The virtual world has made information on any subject available at the click of a button.  Having an iPhone literally makes this information portable. Applications such as the Informed RN Pocket Guide (Version 1.2) are quite handy for nurses. It has information on a vast number of medical related subjects all neatly categorized and easily navigable. The one common problem of having too much of information on a relatively small screen is the ability to make navigation easy. This application has solved that issue. A menu bar on the screen will bring up a broad list of subjects covered in the application. You can then narrow down your search.

When you find the topic of interest, click on it to get all the articles and images related to it. You can then go to each link separately. There will also be references and phone numbers included where possible to further assist you. This application is a boon compared to carrying around a heavy guide. And for a $9.99, the application is a steal.

For those of you preparing for the SAT test, vocabulary building is quite a task. Having an application that can help you with it is both fun and informative. The Sat Visual Vocab (Version 1.0) is an interesting one to have. This application is mainly targeted at high school children who may be attending the SAT or even otherwise. The application comes with a How to video to ease your understanding of how to use it. You can start by learning all the 1040 words in the application, each word comes with a visual description, an audio file for pronunciation and the usage of the word in sentences. After this you can proceed to the quiz section. This application is available for $9.99 and is on the heavier side. It is also available in the free version if you want to try it.

As an expat in the US, you may find this application useful – US Immigration FAQ. This is an easy to use guide on all the rules pertaining to visiting as well as immigrating to the US. The information is constantly updated and is useful for those in the business community.  The section for business travelers is the most popular. It covers several aspects such as visas, work permits, residence and green cards.  At $2.99, this application is a useful one to have around.
