While the Apple iPhone has not conquered the corporate Information Technology official ranks, users are already taking advange of the many applications that it has to offer. Here is a list of useful applications for small, and not so small business users.

1. Evernote - This tool is not exclusive for the iPhone. Actually, that is what makes it so useful. Evernote allows you to keep an access your notes, pictures and other information wherever your are. You can access your notes using a web browser, the Windows or OS X programs, the iPhone or the Blackberry. Anything that you capture in one device is accesible one the other ones. And because it has character recognition, you can find pictures even by searching the text inside of them. Ideal for searching scanned or photographed business cards. So, have important reference information is good, but being able to share with all your field force is much better. Evernote allows you to keep separate notebooks. In one of these notebooks you can store the most current price list, the list of out-of-stock products, reference information and even pictures of your products. And, whenever you refresh the price list, all your sales force will also get the new version of the price list - no need to discriminate between price list versions as it happens when you use e-mail.
