Owners of the iPhone are in a league of their own. There are a whole range of applications – free and paid for that enhance the productivity of the phone. As you wade through directories of applications, you will find that there is something in every category that works towards improving one’s lifestyle as well as the way they work.

Take for example some applications that could create miracles when you are at work. The "Documents To Go" application by DataWhiz is one such. A lot of companies have sought different ways to sync the working of iPhone with Microsoft programs. This is by far the simplest one to use. It has easy to follow instructions and allows you sync all your content and have them available in an instant. If you are the owner of a 3GS iPhone then the "CardPro" application would be interesting for you. It will allow you to keep track of all your visiting cards. All you have to do is take a picture of it and enter the name of the company. The cons are not being able to include additional information or being able to sort in any other way besides company and person’s name. You can enhance your productivity with the Office2 by Byte Squared. This gives you all the advantage of Mobile Office without having to shell out too much.

If the iPhone is a gift for the wife, then you could consider preloading it with some interesting applications. The "Finger Cookbook" is one. It will give her instant access to a number of downloadable cookbooks. All of these come with yummy pictures and are well indexed. If you are in the family way, then the "Baby Bump" for $4.99 would be an ideal way to keep track of the progress of your pregnancy. It shows you the growth of your baby and has several other features. The "Restaurant Nutrition" application too can be very useful to her at work, or when with friends or family. The application comes with most of the popular restaurants preloaded along with the calories that come with their popular meals. This is a free application. For the voracious reader, the "3D Bookshelf" and the "Classics" are priceless.

There are several games such as the "Battle of Midway", "Mega Man II", "Number Munchers", "Ghosts n Zombies", "Spin Art" and "Photo Tracer" can give you hours of entertainment and some are even useful in entertaining children as well as educating them. Try conducting quiz contests among kids with the Pocket First Aid & CPR or the 2010 World Facebook applications. You are sure to educate your children as well as entertain in the right way.
