3 Android Apps that Every Businessman Must Have

From the PDAs, to the Blackberry phones – technology has been 

making many entrepreneurs’ lives a lot easier. E-mails can be read and sent, documents can be viewed and edited, and text messages or calls could be made whenever, wherever. Indeed, technology has given birth to a whole new generation of businessmen. But now that the age of tablets and smartphones is here, you can expect more than just e-mails, texts, and calls from a businessman’s handset.

Apps, for one, have become important tools for many, especially for the businessmen. A typical entrepreneur a few years ago would probably carry a mobile phone, a laptop, and a stack of business cards with him wherever he goes. Fast forward to today and the average businessman would most likely carry only a smartphone or a tablet with him. Why? It’s because smartphones, tablets, or even the so-called “phablets” (phone and tablet hybrids) are capable of carrying apps that can make any businessman’s life much easier. Apps have become

assistants and tools. And since smart devices today are packed with powerful processors and large storage, just a smartphone alone can become quite the effective, all-in-one gadget.

So what are the apps that every businessman must have? Here are three of the most popular and useful ones for Android users:

Dropbox. It can be a nuisance having to carry an external hard drive, a flashdisk, or even a laptop with you when you have a business presentation or meeting to attend to. Copying or transferring important files from your office PC to your laptop can also be time-consuming. But with the help of cloud apps like Dropbox, you can instantly sync files in multiple devices. Through Dropbox, whatever file you save in your office PC, you get to access it through your smartphone or tablet. So even if you forgot to copy that very important presentation, you can still access it through your smartphone.

Evernote. You know how secretaries and assistants can remind you of meetings and tasks? Well, this is exactly what Evernote can do. With this app, you’re able to save important appointments, dates, and reminders, making it easier for you to sail through an entire day or week without forgetting something. It can also store bookmarks, texts, photos, notes, and even voice recordings in case you’re driving or too busy to type.

Viber, Skype, or Google Voice. It’s a known fact that businessmen spend most of their time talking over the phone. But sometimes, poor reception can hinder you from making or receiving very urgent calls. So why not use the internet to make or receive calls instead? VoIP provider apps like Viber, Skype, and Google Voice allow you to make affordable VoIP calls, making them ideal for businessmen on-the-go. Some even enable you to make affordable international calls, send important faxes, and leave or receive voicemails through your smartphone.

Smartphones and tablets are indeed making life easier for the travelling businessmen. And with the thousands of apps available, you’re sure to find handy tools that will help you do well in your everyday business tasks.
