Best Apps For Business
From productivity to presentations, travel to time management, these apps for business are like the perfect PA - in your pocket. It's now possible to run a small empire from your smartphone, from downloading documents to editing in Excel to holding a meeting via Skype in the back of a taxi. And there's new apps released every day to help you squeeze more minutes out the day, find the best business travel deals and build a killer network.
Best apps for productivity
A voice recognition app, ideal for transcribing meetings. Dictations can be posted straight to social networking sites - though the accuracy is a bit suspect, so probably best check first. Free; iOS.
Task
Tasks keeps a note of your appointments, meetings, notes, to-do lists and other things more typically consigned to Post-It notes. 0.69; iOS.
Astrid
A personal assistant without the paycheck, Astrid is an organisation app with reminders, subtasks, lists, and widgets that synch across phones, tablets and Astrid.com. Free; iOS and Android.
Locale
Always forget to turn your phone off before meetings? Locale lets you set up quiet zones so that whenever your phone is in a certain location it automatically switches to silent - and turns the ringer back on as soon as you move on. Free; Android.
Best apps for virtual meetings
Google Voices
Styled after Google's Gmail service, Google Voices is a Skype-like system for PC-to-phone and PC-to-PC voice and video calling, which also lets you read voicemail as email. Free; iOS and Android.
Skype
Perfect for smooth business calls over wireless connection - cutting costs and letting you see the whites of your colleague's eyes. Free; iOS and Android.
Best apps for ideas on the go
AK Notepad
Text-based and supposedly "hassle-free" notepad and reminder system, which lets you jot down bright ideas in the pub - and send them to your boss via SMS. Free; Android.
A multimedia scrapbook - lets you take down snippets of text, photos, voice memos, files or handwritten "ink" notes and organise them into files. Includes synchronisation and backup. Free; iOS and Android.
Specially designed for the iPad, Paper is an intuitive use of the touchscreen interface to let you take notes, sketch diagrams and doodle - great for creative meetings (and dull ones). Free; iOS.
