Being a busy person these days, I’m always on the go in one way or another, yet I still like to be connected when I’m away from the computer. So it’s important that I have a great mobile device that meets those needs on staying up to date with business when away from my desk.

At Tridea, there are three main applications that we use to manage our business. The first being the obvious, which is email, and the Apple’s iPhone has a great mail application. I’m able to manage both business and personal emails whenever I need to, no matter where I am. As long as I have cell service (which is just about everywhere), I’m good to go.

The next application we use a lot is Basecamp. I don’t know where we’d be without Basecamp, and to say I’m excited about the iPhone version of Basecamp, named Outpost, would be a big understatement. The app is due to be released next month so I will definitely be downloading it. I’ve been able to manage with using Basecamp in mobile Safari, but it’s not ideal. Outpost will fill that void.

The last app that we use on a regular basis is Wordpress for our blog. Just this week, they released the iPhone version of Wordpress, which I’ve already tried and is excellent. Now I don’t have to be at my computer if I want to write a blog post here.

Those are just a few essentials that Tridea uses to keep business afloat, and having those applications on a mobile device has proved beneficial. As you’ve already figured out, my mobile device of choice is the iPhone, which very much suites my needs in terms of applications and ease of use. I look forward to seeing what other business applications get released that would help out with Tridea work.

What mobile device are you using and what applications do you have to help out with your business while away from your desk?
