4. Productivity
Evernote is a great free note
app that stores your notes in
the cloud. There is also a
computer application as well
that works with the mobile
app.
Microsoft Office apps are now
FREE!
Since the data is stored in the
cloud if your device
malfunctions you can still
access your notes from any
Internet connected device.
Crisis averted!

5. Entertainment
Watch a movie or a TV show
on the go ($7.99/mo)!
I haven’t had Cable for over
two years now. If you can live
without live new or sports,
what are you waiting for?
Recently I decided to
subscribe to Amazon Prime
as well. For $99/yr I get
access to free TV shows,
movies, eBooks, and free
two-day shipping.

6. Finance
Mint.com is like a real-time digital
checkbook. Mint keeps track for all
your purchases, bills, and account
balances!
I personally use Mint to keep track of
my finances for two years now, and
it has worked like a charm. The
initial setup is quite involved but
then everything runs great!
You can even set Mint to notify you
when a bill is due or you have a low
account balance.

7. Social Networking
Hail to the king, baby! There are many
social networking apps including
Twitter, Tumblr, and the like for mobile
devices, but only one service has a
billion users, Facebook!
As far as I know every app allows users
to post to Facebook from within the
app. Sharing is easy on Facebook.
Like most apps, the Facebook app has
some limitations when compared to
their website, but most functionality is
there.
