Top 5 business mobile apps for September

Cab4me - Free - Android

Cab4me enables you to find the number of local cab firms based on where you are at the time using the power of Google maps.

The map could be very handy, just image when you step out of a meeting late at night and you haven't really got a clue of your location. The app will automatically detect where you are. In the event of poor signal you can manually enter a street name etc. The app will also find reviews of the firms and then allow you to call them directly.

As for the younger crowd, this app could pay of dividends when on drunken nights out in new locations.

ServerUp - Android

This is the app for the IT manager. The app allows you to quickly and easily check the status of your network and web servers. If your server unfortunately goes down you will find out before the panicked phone calls start rolling in. The app runs on £G, wi-fi and ping, trace route, whoIs are all supported. SysAdmins rejoice. 

Do Not Disturb - Blackberry

The do not disturb Blackberry app allows you to automatically filter phone calls. For example if you’re in the office and you don't want unknown numbers calling you, they can be filtered out and blocked.

Perhaps you finished work and don't want unknown numbers from ringing from 7pm to 7am, consider them gone. All done without turning your phone off or silencing your phone.

iTalk Recorder - Free - iPhone

Great handy tool. This app basically converts your phone into an audio recorder. Handy if you want to keep minutes from a meeting or recall important parts.

The interface is superbly simple, you just name the file and select the quality, obviously the better the quality the bigger the file size. The app also allows you to pause and resume recordings.

Scan2PDF - Windows 

This app lets you take advantage of your phones camera. Basically it allows you to take a picture of a document convert it to PDF and then email it forward. If you don’t need perfect quality it makes things easy doing away with the need for a Fax.
