However, doing so is easier said than done.  There are meetings to keep track of, accounts to keep in balance, and payroll to manage at any given point throughout the week. One of the best ways to keep all your appointments, paperwork, and bills in line is by turning your smartphone into your personal assistant, and downloading a few quality apps to your smartphone.  Aside from knowing which are the best credit cards to get and downloading personal finance apps, the following apps will benefit both you and your company in the long run: GoToMeeting is a great free app available to both iPhone or Android phone. It makes attending online meetings possible as it allows you to conduct face-to-face meetings over your phone, no matter where you are.

The competition between Microsoft and Apple is moving gradually from the desktop to the cloud. As noted by The Next Web, a recent marketing push by Microsoft tries to woo Mac users away from iCloud and into Microsoft's cloud-based SkyDrive service. The webpage and video highlights the advantages of SkyDrive by pointing out that Microsoft's service gives you access to every file, everywhere, even across platforms and, unlike iCloud, it integrates well with Microsoft Office. These features of SkyDrive may not entice Mac users to abandon iCloud, but it could get those Office users to consider using the service along with iCloud. You potentially could use iCloud for your music and photos and push your productivity stuff into Office and SkyDrive. I personally wouldn't do it because iCloud and DropBox works just fine for my needs, but heavy Office users might want to take a closer look at Microsoft's service. SkyDrive Read More

SkyDrive is a file sharing iPhone and iPod touch app from Microsoft that gives users 25GB of online storage space for files that allows them to share those files with others. The application lets users access files from any Internet browser or Internet capable device. This program’s main concept is file sharing. Word documents, .pdfs, images, video, audio, and other files are accessed from an online storage space, and then shared. This iPhone app eases sharing by linking directly to this online space. By selecting a document from the folder, a user is given options to “view” the document or “view and edit” the document. Viewing brings the document up only for the user. Viewing and editing allows a user to share that document with another person. Once the photo is marked for editing, an e-mail program pops up with everything prepared for sending. All that is required is the receiver’s Read More

posted by Jacob Penderworth on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:31 am.   It seems that Microsoft is trying hard lately to get their name out on Apple’s mobile OS. Just yesterday, the company released OneNote for iPad, and last week they released My Xbox Live and Halo Waypoint — a companion to the Xbox’s popular first person shooter. Today, they have released SkyDrive for iPhone. If you don’t already know, SkyDrive is Microsoft’s cloud storage system that offers 25 GB of free online storage — far more than the average competitor, such as Dropbox, could. The system can be used for anything from documents, to photos to EXE files. Surprisingly, it works extremely well, but until today there was no mobile app to truly expand its variety of users. Dropbox had better watch out, though, because something that offers nearly thirteen times the amount of storage that Dropbox does is bound Read More

Watch out, Dropbox. There's a new kid in town, and he's bigger than you are. Microsoft has just released an iPhone app for access to the free Microsoft SkyDrive cloud storage service. SkyDrive for iPhone (free) should make Windows users who have documents stored in the cloud happy. Videos or photos that are created on the iPhone can also be uploaded to SkyDrive using the app, which takes up about 4.4 MB on the device. SkyDrive users can access all of their content, including files that someone has shared with them. Likewise, any file can be shared by sending a link via email. The app also provides a way to create and delete folders from the iPhone. Users of Hotmail, Microsoft Messenger, and Xbox LIVE already have SkyDrive accounts. For those who don't but want to give it a try, you can sign up for a new account at SkyDrive.com. Read More
