10 Reasons an iPhone 4 is a Great Business Tool

Having used a Mac since desktop publishing took over the graphic design industry I am a big fan of all things Apple. I consider my iPhone more as a mini-computer than a phone because it’s so versatile.

These are just some of my favorite business related apps. If you’re on the go a lot, an iPhone is a great way to keep productive. It’s also great while sitting on the sofa in front of the TV.

  1. E-mail: The iPhone syncs with your iCal and MobileMe account seamlessly.
  2. Facebook: Stay in touch with all your friends and clients.
  3. Twitter: Set up your favorite list and keep up to date.
  4. Bam Analytics: Set up your Google analytics and keep track of how your websites are doing wherever you are.
  5. Lynda.com: If you have a spare moment you can watch a video lesson on the latest software applications. Check out a FreePass today.
  6. iBooks: A great way to catch up on your business reading. Even load up your own pdf files and e-books to keep up to date.
  7. Go Daddy: Find and purchase a domain name or check your mobile mail.
  8. Lucy Phone: Never wait on hold again. Find a company, call it up, and your phone will ring you when the call goes through.
  9. NetNewsWire: Keep up with the latest news feeds. Syncs with Google Reader. It’s my favorite news reader as it is quick and there’s a convenient Mac app too. Great on the iPad and iPhone.
  10. Instapaper: Save a web page or newsfeed and read it later in Instapaper. A great way to catch up when you have a spare moment.

There are many more useful business related iPhone and iPad apps, but these are my favorite, so far. What are yours?

Great iPhone Apps for Business

I love adding apps to my iPhone. Especially the free ones. And it’s always fun to get free updates. Here’s a list of my new (not necessarily free) favorites:

  • Accounts – Checkbook
    • This is an easy way to keep track of all your checkbook accounts.
  • HootSuite
    • Send a tweet from any Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn account, among others. You can also set the time the tweet should go out. Very convenient.
  • Facebook
    • Keep track of your Facebook accounts wherever you are. Lots of goodies like News Feed, Friends, and Chat.
  • Analytics Pro
    • It’s easy to keep track of all your Google analytics accounts.
  • Lynda.com
    • Now you can watch videos about your favorite software wherever you are.
  • Barnes&Nobel eReader
    • Buy a book and read it on the go. Great for the gym.
  • Amazon’s Kindle eReader
    • Same as above only from Amazon. If you can’t sleep, reading in bed is a lot easier.
  • PayPal
    • Keep track of your PayPal account. You can even arrange a transaction with another iPhone user by bumping phones together. Yikes.
  • WordPress
    • Update or review your WordPress blogs anywhere. Convenient and fun.
  • 1Password
    • Store all your many passwords in one safe place.
  • Constant Contact QuickView
    • Now you can keep track of all your email newsletter statistics.
  • GoDaddy
    • Find a domain name or review your account. Another convenience I love.
  • Carbonite
    • Back up your computer hard disk and view all your files on your iPhone. You must have a Carbonite account for about $50 a year.
  • Instapaper
    • Save any website or newsfeed here and read it later in a format optimized for the iPhone.

My contract is up with AT&T in April. That means I’m eligible for a new phone at the usual discount price. Typically Apple introduces a new iPhone model in June or July. So far, no firm news, just some rumors about the next iPhone being an A+ upgrade. Possible multi-tasking, better 5 mp camera, flash, increased battery life. Maybe even video teleconferencing.

Whatever the next generation iPhone is, I’m all set to buy it. I’m holding off on the iPad until I see how things play out. Knowing Apple, if you wait several months there might either be a better price or more of something. Perhaps the 3G model will end up being the same price as the WiFi only model. Apple is tricky that way.
