11 Must Have iPhone Apps for IT Professionals
Here in the Ambition Technology Office, there is a bit of a divide between iPhone and the other smart phone owners..
iPhone now has nearly a 3rd of the market share of new phones sold in Australia, so it has become a pretty dominant player in the mobile market as we know it today and will be even more so in the future. The most powerful factor around the iPhone platform is the massive collection of Apps available; over 120,000 apps ! Of course this makes it hard to find the good ones. Here is a list of the 10 Must have apps for IT professionals.

Love dropbox – it comes in very handy when working on files between the office and home.
I have recently published an iPhone app that allows for Active Directory administration. I feel like it would indeed be a useful application for IT workers. It is called AD HelpDesk. Unfortunately it was first published on the 13th of April, a little to late to be considered for this list. Highly relevant to anyone needing to administer Active Directory.
