Two Indispensable Apps
I probably have about 20 apps on my iPhone that I rely on regularly. The ones that I probably use most - and which I have written about previously - are Tweetie2, Facebook and Instapaper. But there are two that I am using more and more. The first is Evernote. I use this as my digital memory; to capture work and personal notes; to record reminders, to capture photos and more. Oftentimes when I am at the bookstore and see an interesting book, I'll snap it to Evernote so that I can check it out later online. I love how it stores all content in the cloud and is accessible either from my phone or a browser. I have not yet signed up for the paid version of this application, solely because I don't really need all the storage space, but it's something I will likely do soon. I don't yet use Evernote every day, but I do use it multiple times each week.
The other important app is Dropbox. Similar to Evernote, it's cloud based, only I use it to temporarily store large files (powerpoint documents for when I travel, music, and more). Having one's own online file system is something that just a few years ago wasn't feasible. The storage aspect of this is great, as is its ability to file share between multiple users.. As adoption of this app continues to grow, it's utility will improve greatly.
Anyway, if you don't yet have these two apps -- and if you are reading this site, I suspect that's probably not the case - you should download them both, pronto.
