Posted on February 16, 2010 by J. Benjamin Stevens

The apps listed below were included on a recent list of the ten of the best apps for busy lawyers.  You can read much more about each of these apps in the full article, but a short summary of each is listed below :

  1. AppBoxPro is a multi-function currency converter, date calculator, translator (text), tip calculator, international holiday calendar, unit converter, battery life meter, and more.
  2. Bento is a powerful but easy to use database for the Mac.
  3. Bump is a new way to exchange contact information instead of using business cards.
  4. Documents to Go Premium allows you to edit, create, and view Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.
  5. Dragon Dictation is a free, easy-to-use voice-recognition app
  6. DropBox is a file sharing service that provides on-line file storage, access, and sharing from multiple computers and mobile devices.
  7. Google Mobile App allows you to just speak your search terms.
  8. People is essentially a national “White Pages” database at your fingertips.
  9. ScanR Business Center allows you to create PDFs using your iPhone camera or using a picture on your camera roll.
  10. Skype lets you make either free or very cheap calls on your iPhone using VOIP (voice over internet protocol).

Bonus:  Things is a task management app that keeps track of your projects.

2. JD Supra - FREE ( great lawyer search tool ).
3. Air Sharing - ($5) but more server space than DropBox

Just got this link from Twitter. May I please have permission to repost this on the LexisNexis Legal Business Community Portal? We're building content, and this exact post is something I've been working on. Credit, attribution and a link to your blog would be provided absolute. Would supplement with content from a legal marketer who gave thoughts on Dragon Dictation app. I can share more with you and others interested. Please advise, and thanks!
