iXpenseIt – Expense tracking on your iPhone/iPod touch

I travel for business quite a bit and any business traveler will tell you that if you forget to expense something, you're usually out of luck. That means that you eat the expense without even realizing it. Most companies can only reimburse you for the expenses you submit. So if you forget to submit something you don't get reimbursed for it. I'm lucky that my company uses American Express for tracking any expenses charged to our individual corporate cards. However, there are many times that I have to pay cash for things such as Taxi rides.

iXpenseIt helps me keep track of it all

With iXpenseIt I can quickly and easily record expenses as they happen. Since I really only need it for cash expenditures or expenses I do on a card other than my Corporate AMEX, I don't have to use it for every single thing I expense. However, even if I did need to record every single expense, it's so quick and easy that it wouldn't be a problem.

iTranslate – A universal translator for your iPhone

As much as I wish I spoke 7 languages, I bare speak one :) So traveling abroad can be challenging for me at times. On a recent European business trip I found myself in several situations where the person I was trying to communicate with didn't speak English and I didn't speak French or German. Luckily with a quick download of iTranslate from the App Store I was able to get my messages across. 

iTranslate brings Google translations into a native app

Let's start with the fact that iTranslate uses Google for it's language translations. So this means first of all you have to have an internet connection to use it and secondly, you could go to translate.google.com and do it yourself. With that said, having a FREE native App is usually better than using the website in Safari. iTranslate also goes beyond what you can do on the website by offering in App purchases of voices. So not only can you do the text translation, but you can have it speak the results in a real voice to the person you're trying to communicate with.

DOOM Resurrection

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1weAgx6q5lA

 

I'm always amazed at how well the developers can port classic games over to the iPhone platform. The makers of Doom have done an excellent job in bringing over Doom Resurrection. A lot of thought went to how you would control a game like Doom with just touch screen controls and the way they chose to make it more enjoyable was to remove the chore of having to walk through the game while you're trying to fight off the aliens/zombies. The game does the walking for you and leaves you to concentrate on firing, ducking, dodging and picking up clues. Although I'm certainly not a gamer, I find this game to be entertaining without being too gory just for the sake of being gory. Now if someone could help me defeat the two giant water creatures I could move on.

You can have your own iPhone App too

With over 140,000 Apps now on the App Store there are many people out there with great ideas for Apps, but since they're not developers they don't really have a way of getting their Apps developed and then published. Contracting a developer to write an App for you could easily cost you $10,000 or more and of course since the average price of an App is $0.99 to $1.99. Even if you charged $9.99 (and it better be one hell of an App) it could take you a long long time to recoup that investment and worse you may never recoup it. Luckily there are developers out there that have seen this as an opportunity to help individuals and small businesses get Apps out there without having to pay an arm and two legs.

Build your own App online

Although I already have my "Learn the Adobe Creative Suite with Terry White" App on the App store, I couldn't resist testing out the service by AppMakr.com that allows you to build your own App all right there on their website. I built my own NEW "Terry White" app which is now available for FREE on the App store. Now don't feel bad if you have/paid for my other App because it still has Exclusive bonus content that the New App doesn't.

USPS Mobile

It's hard to live in the US and not use the Post Office from time to time. So having an app that helps you find the closest post office, know what hours it's open and track your shipments is welcomed. Now to be honest, I already have a GREAT package tracking app called Delivery Status that tracks packages from all major carriers including the US Postal Services. However, it doesn't offer any of the other things that I just mentioned about the USPS Mobile App. So it's great to have both.

USPS Mobile Gets It Right

This app has a great interface that lets you get to what you want quickly. Need to look up the zip code for an address no problem. Just tap the Zip Codes button at the bottom of the display and either look up by the address you want to send to or see Zip codes for a particular city or if you want to see what cities are in a Zip code, just key in the Zip code. If you need to find your closest post office (great while traveling), just tap Locations and then Post Office Locations and USPS Mobile will give you your closest one based on your current location or the map.
