ezPDF Reader

5

When you receive a PDF from a client or the boss, having the ability to annotate the document at the spur of the moment can be a valuable capability. That’s possible with ezPDF Reader, which costs $2.99. In addition, users can fill out PDF forms from the app and listen to the document with text-to-speech.


LogMeIn Ignition

6

LogMeIn Ignition is similar to the aforementioned Splashtop Remote Desktop, since it allows users to control their computers. However, LogMeIn Ignition comes with a host of really neat features, including the ability to let users run business applications, like CRM, ERP and others, without a hitch. In addition, it works with both Mac and PC. But watch out for sticker shock; it costs $29.99.

Looking for a free application that enhances overall productivity while using an Android-based device? Consider trying out ES Task Manager. This app helps users save battery life, free up memory and kill unnecessary tasks running in the background. It’s not a hugely important application, but it’s definitely something of note.


GoToMeeting

GoToMeeting from the folks over at Citrix allows users to chime in on meetings wherever they are. In addition, the application lets users see visuals shown during the presentation, as well as engage the speaker in conversation. It’s available for free.


CamCard

Although CamCard might look at first glance like a less-useful application than many of the others in this roundup, it actually isn’t. The application is a full business card reader that allows users to snap an image and then automatically incorporates all of the information it into their contacts listing. For mixers or other business events, it’s a must-have. And it’s cheap at $4.99.
