On the Go - The Best Mobile Web Applications Reviewed - Business Apps

In our last installment of ‘On-The-Go’ we had a look at two great media mobile applications.  This time around, we’ll be taking a look at some of my favourite business orientated mobile web apps.

Translate hardcopy documents into searchable text with scanR

scanr

scanR is a service that helps you capture information contained in whiteboards, documents and business cards. scanR lets you use your mobile camera phone or digital camera to clean photos of whiteboards, documents and business cards, extract the printed information, and get a digital file in your email, contact manager, or fax.

Just snap a pic, then MMS or send it to scanR in an email, and you get a searchable (NOT just a mere image) PDF sent back to you.  The only catch is that you need to have a 2 megapixel or better camera on your phone for best results.

Catch up with the latest business news with Plusmo

plusmo

RSS feeds are the bread and butter of my reading on the web - so having them on my mobile is the only sensible way I’d ever use my phone to catch up with the latest news.

Now I’ve tried plenty of mobile RSS readers, but I liked about Plusmo was that offered offline reading as well.  This is great if you just want to download all your reading at one go and look at it later - Perfect for the road warrior who’s always on the go.

Special thanks to David Lian who hooked me up with a Wi-Fi enabled Nokia N93i so I could play around with these cool mobile web apps.
