Apps that make great business sense

Making your business mobile makes a huge amount of sense logistically. Luckily, there are a number of eminently suitable apps to help you get the cogs of your business turning, even when you are on the move.

Maybe your business just doesn't have a proper office yet, or perhaps you are in the middle of moving office. Possibly the needs of your business require you to be on the move a lot of the time. Perhaps you just like to travel a lot and you can get away with working through your devices while padding around in your flip-flops and Speedos. Either way, you need to make sure that your smartphone or tablet can help you get the job done in record time, so you have more time to work on the real important things in life, like your tan.

Readdle Pro Scan and Printer Pro: Imprint this on your memory

These are two exceptionally useful apps, which you will find handy when you are in the office, and not just when you are travelling. Scanner Pro essentially transforms your device into a portable scanner. It is very quick and convenient to use and is particularly useful for scanning segments of documents. Meanwhile the Printer Pro gives the user the option of printing attachments, documents and web pages straight from an iPhone or iPad. Again it is very convenient and saves a fair amount of the hassle of using an office computer. It is perhaps particularly handy for small businesses where there is not that much call or space for a proper office. Restaurateurs, bar owners and clothing shop owners would probably find both tools especially useful.

OfficeTime: Every minute spent is a pound earned

If you have the luxury of being able to bill your customers by the hour or even, heaven be praised, by the minute, then OfficeTime will help make sure that you don't miss a second of how long you spent working on a project.

The app comes free and is more than adequate for smaller-sized offices thanks to being able to track multiple hourly rates with multiple timers. It also operates effectively offline. There is a timer in the background so you can keep track of how much time you are spending on each project as you work on it.

There is a simple upgrade to the pro version, which larger law firms, for example, will find useful. There is also a feature that allows you to export the date to Excel or Numbers, which makes invoicing much easier.

My Lead Responder: An easy sell

There is an extraordinarily fine-line between following up a lead and pestering. Your client or lead is invariably busy and will most likely require gentle pushing to remind him to sign up to your services. If you are too timid or simply forget to chase the lead up then you could easily lose the client, but at the same time if you push too hard you could end up causing resentment. With My Lead Responder, you can easily keep track of how much time has passed between each push, so that you always get it just right. It also helps you keep track of the dates you agreed with your client to reconvene the enquiry. Estate agents in particular will love this app.

FormMobi: Send forms at a fair clip

FormMobi is a Cloud-based clipboard that will save you hours of retyping. Just create a form, collect the data remotely on your smartphone, or even better, your tablet, and then export the data to any platform with just the click of a button.

HTC Deluxe DLX become international version DROID DNA

Not so long ago, HTC introduced to the U.S. interesting smartphone DROID DNA. And although the novelty has been designed exclusively for the U.S. market, our site turned his attention to her, because we know that it will soon be released and the international version of the model. Our assumptions were groundless, and today we're going to talk about the smartphone HTC DLX Deluxe , which is just what is the international version of the HTC DROID DNA.

Recently in Internet got new pictures, which seems depicted smartphone HTC Deluxe DLX . According to them, to produce this model is prepared in three colors: white, brown and black. Like the HTC DROID DNA , our new product has a huge 5-inch touch screen Super LCD3 with 1080 P . Hardware-based smartphone is a quad-core Snapdragon Krait on nuclei with a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz and two gigabytes of memory.

Date debut HTC Deluxe DLX yet reliably known, but analysts believe that the first official appearance of the smartphone can be held at the shows MWC and CES , which will be held early next year. However, the source claims that some new information about the new product can appear for 6 December.

Samsung Galaxy S4

One of the new trends of the year in the smartphone market has been the emergence of 5-inch Full HD matrices. While manufacturers are taking the first steps, but now we can say for sure that the top smartphones of many (if not all) Android-vendors in 2013 will acquire display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

One of the Korean newspaper published an exclusive information obtained from alleged spokesman Samsung. States that in the framework of the exhibition CES 2013, which will be held in January in Las Vegas, the Korean company will show 4.99-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display.

Given the fact that all the other manufacturers who have released or plan to soon release a Full HD smartphones (HTC, Sony, Sharp and OPPO), use the LCD-matrix, Samsung will be able to create a "stand out from the crowd" flagships.

It is expected that Samsung Super AMOLED matrix is ​​ultrathin, consume little power and will be able to stand out among competitors in brightness and contrast. The representative of the Korean manufacturer also stated that the density of the pixels in the display will be 441 ppi - in this case, the points are virtually indistinguishable, even for the sharpest vision. Mass production of the matrix was made possible by combining the current FMM-method and advanced technology LITI.

C given that the Galaxy S4, according to rumors, will be presented in the second quarter of next year, Samsung have plenty of time to have time to equip the new flagship of the stunning matrix. Especially in light of the fact that the main competitors at this time is likely to have time to market their Full HD smartphone - at CES 2013 we will show one or two devices Sony , is not far off and the announcement of HTC Deluxe .

Earlier, it was reported that Galaxy S4 receives heavy duty quad Exynos chip and 13-megapixel camera . Final picture begins to slowly take shape.

Nokia Lumia 920 coming to AT&T in November

A couple of days ago AT&T and HTC announced that the HTC Windows Phone 8X was coming in November and today we hear that AT&T is going all in with Windows Phone 8 as the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 will also be coming in November. In addition, we see the first confirmation that a cyan colored Nokia Lumia 920 will be part of the AT&T lineup. Actually, AT&T will be getting the cyan, yellow, red, white and black Nokia Lumia 920. If T-Mobile doesn't announce a Nokia Lumia 920, I will have to decide between a cyan or yellow one on AT&T. I am sticking with the iPhone 5 on Verizon so that carrier is out of consideration.

In addition to the flagship Nokia Lumia 920, AT&T will also get the Lumia 820 in black. You will be able to purchase removable wireless charging shells in yellow, red, cyan, black, and white as well and from what I understand these wrap around the front a bit so essentially turn your device into the color you select for the shell. Now we just need to see more about Windows Phone 8!
