Apple iPad 2 Business Apps

By Gareth Jale


The world of business is rapidly changing as it adapts to new technologies and ways of interacting with customers. While not all technological advances can be pinned to the release of the iPad 2, its overall significance cannot be ignored. The reality is that the iPad 2 is a powerful business tool, and the bulk of its power comes from useful application. The App Store has a large selection of many different business applications. But finding the right ones for your business can be a challenge.

iWork for iPad is a condensed version of iWork Suite. This application will always help you find the top blogs for tech news and other informational sites. IWork for iPad boasts an easy-to-use and intuitive interface. The major downside to the application is that you must pay for it. The other main downside is that this app uses a lot of battery power. If you use the iWork app for long periods of time, be sure you have the charger with you at all times.

Evernote is a very popular application both the Apple OS and even for Android powered smart phones and tablets. This application does exactly what its name says. It allows the user to take quick and easy notes. Not only that, but you can sync all your notes to Facebook, Twitter as well as to your Mac or PC laptop. This can be a very essential program for small business owners. As you have important ideas, or to-do lists you can jot them down on-the-go, and immediately sync them to your preferred mobile device. WebEx provides a means for both the small and large business owner to setup and lead online meetings. Not only is this application one of the better virtual meeting clients on the web, but the application is actually free. This program also features a built-in chat client and a 2 way audio function.

For companies looking for a user-friendly database application for the iPad, Bento is a go-to app for many small business owners. Bento comes with over 25 built-in templates for a wide variety of uses. Whether you're putting together a complex work schedule, or managing both small and large inventories, Bento may be the solution for your small business.

Then there is the DropBox application. Though a seemingly basic utility application, DropBox is a powerful cloud-based data backup tool for both small and large business owners alike. DropBox can be downloaded for free on iTunes or through the App Store feature on your tablet. DropBox does provide three types of pricing plans to meet your needs. The free version gives you 250 MBs to work with. If you are on a shoestring budget, you can refer friends and colleagues. For each friend who signs up for the service, DropBox will award you 250 MBs. You can also take advantage of monthly pricing plans that are available.

Finally, as you consider applications for business, you may want to think about appropriate accessories. If you plan to carry your device with you where ever you go, a case will protect your screen and outer housing from significant damage.
