Apparently you can also use an iPhone to make calls!

There are so many great applications available for the iPhone, that you can easily forget that it also works as a phone!

There are a few applications that I find myself using quite often, here are a few worthy of mention:

CamScanner
Want to take a quick copy of a document? This app allows you to take photos of documents, and has a neat cropping function.

You can also ‘scan’ multiple documents into the one file, and email it as a PDF.

The quality is excellent, as long as you have good lighting. It’s also useful to take a pic of notes on your whiteboard.

Whiteboard
There are numerous drawing apps available, but I find this to be a simple for quick scribbles.

Of course you don’t have the same screen area and ease that an iPad provides,

but it’s a good choice when you want to draw something that you can save or email later on.

360 Panorama
This is a great little photo app which allows you to take panoramic photos.

The smarts in the iPhone know where you are pointing, and basically stitches the photo on the fly.

Take a photo of your full surrounds (spin around on the spot!), and save it as a scrolling photo, or flatten as a simple (wide) shot. Very clever.

Metroview
I recently found myself in a hire car without my trusty sat nav. As handy as google maps is, it’s not functional when you need to drive.

This app provides voice guidance, and seemed to do the job I needed very well.

Evernote
I’ve previously mentioned this as being a great app for iPad, having it installed on your iPhone means you have access to your notes when your iPad is elsewhere. Your notes automatically synchronise between your devices, or can be accessed on the web. You can also use voice recordings and take photos (great for capturing notes on the whiteboard to attach to your meeting notes).

Google Search
Yes, you can use Google through Safari, but Google have just introduced this app which provides some nifty little features, including voice command searches – and they actually work!

Know Risk Insurance Tracker
A simple but functional app that allows you to keep track of all your insurance policy details, with renewal reminders and insurer details for claims.

Have you tried booking a Taxi through an app?
The right app really depends on where you are, but a couple I’ve tried include iCabSydney (which does pretty well at figuring out where you are) and Silver Service Cabs. These apps can remember your favourite destinations to make it a bit quicker for common trips. Best to check which apps service your local area, or where you plan to travel to.

Social media apps
The ones I’m most commonly using are Echofon (for Twitter), the LinkedIn app, and Google+ (great if you’ve joined this network).

Feel free to comment on any more that you find useful.
