Apps bolster iphone in business, but AT&T remains an obstacle
Fast forward to April 2009. With the announcement of the iPhone 3.0 software in March and the third generation iPhone expected to be unveiled by the middle of 2009, I decided that it was time for TechRepublic to start paying more attention to the iPhone again and to revisit the iPhone App Store to see if there is anything in there to make it more compelling to the corporate world.
So I dug out the iPhone 3G, put it in a Griffin case with a ZAGG InvisibleSheild , loaded a bunch of iPhone apps, and started regularly carrying it as a Wi-Fi device. The timing was good since I’ve been traveling a lot this spring, so I’ve been able to test it like a true road warrior.
I’ve been pretty surprised and impressed. This time around, the iPhone has proven to be far more useful, and it’s entirely due to the software.
Apps, for the winAfter my eight-month hiatus from the iPhone, it’s been great to see the improvement of several important applications and the breadth and quality of new applications in the iPhone App Store. Last year it was a struggle to find anything useful for business users. Now, there’s a wealth of good stuff, and I keep finding new apps every week.
