Specialty iPad apps for business users

01.12.2010

Business travelers whose companies use the Concur travel service (aka Atlas Travel) to manage their trips can track their itineraries and always have the details available through the free Concur Mobile app.

Turn your iPad into a travel alarm with iHandySoft's $2 Alarm Clock HD Pro, so you don't oversleep on the road. It detects your current time zone and shows the current weather.

Get weather reports wherever you are over your iPad. Shifty Jelly's $2 Pocket Weather World HD app includes more than 60,000 locations worldwide. The Weather Channel's $4 Weather Channel Max provides weather conditions and forecasts across the globe, bookmarks unlimited locations to track, plots local landmarks such as schools and golf courses on its map, and provides access to traffic cameras in some areas.

Business miscellany

Do you ever come across a Web page you'd like to read later, when you have the time? Sure, you can bookmark those pages, but wouldn't it be nice if you could somehow save them to your iPad and read them at your convenience? And wouldn't it be even nicer if you could read them without Internet access, such as when you're on an airplane? It's all possible with Marco Arment's $5 Instapaper Pro.
