The iPad and iPhone have made a significant improvement in the content I am able to produce (speed and quality) and the rapid response time to clients. There are still a few things that require me to use a laptop, like creating blog entries on Hubspot, but the gap is narrowing. I now own several hundred mobile apps, but with the bargain shopping apps most of my collection were purchased while on sale or free.
Below are the apps I use the most:
- StumbleUpon (Web explorer for new ideas and content)
- ProInsignts (LinkedIn Analysis and Infographic of Connections)
- Lifecards (Creative electronic postcards)
- Vonage (Voice calls national & international. Can call Korea for free!)
- Skype (Text, voice, and video communications--national & international)
- Mint (Personal financial management)
- mSecure (Secure storage of password & codes)
- Diptic (Picture formatting)
- iThoughts (Mind mapping)
- Auditorium (Note taking and audio recording)
- Hootsuite (Posting updates to social media sites)
- Videoscribe (Create unique videos)
- Waze (Navigation with social media features)
For entertainment and shopping, I like the following apps:
- Pzizz (Sleep assistant)
- AppShopper & AppZapp (App store bargains)
- Words with Friends (Scrabble-like fun)
- TuneIn Radio (Listen to almost any radio station)
- Craigslist Times (Like the newspaper classifieds interface)
