Yes, There's an App for That

These days there’s an app for everything. There are apps for personal and professional use. Apps for phones, tablets, and iPods. Apps for organizing, doing, and playing. You can practically run your whole business from your mobile device.

Here are some apps and app categories we thought were interesting and useful from a business standpoint:

One particular app we think is great is Evernote. Evernote made the NY Times Top 10 Must Have Apps, and winner of the Best Mobile App Award from TechCrunch, Mashable and the Webbys. You can download it on all of your platforms and sync everything across all computers and devices you have. Evernote helps you remember anything and everything that happens in your life.
