1) Evernote - Evernote is awesome. A free cloud-based note-taking service that has apps on all major smartphone and desktop platforms. Got a PC, an iPad and an Android phone? No problem. Seamlessly syncs notes between everything. Good-bye notebook!
2) Drop Box - If you haven't signed up yet, you're missing the boat! Simple cloud based file-sharing on all platforms. 2GB are free. Awesome collaboration features where you can share folders easily with other Drop Box users.
3) Swackett - Simple free iOS weather program that tells you what to wear in addition to the temp (yeah I need all the help I can get in the morning).
4) CardMunch - Recently bought by LinkedIn. Take a picture of a business card and they'll turn it into an Contact for you. Real people on the other end if their software can't figure it out. Has yet to fail me.
5) Square - Be able to take a credit card payment from anyone. Great party trick or a jaw-dropper when your buddy needs to "pay you back for that cab later". Now has new functionality to open up a "tab" at participating merchants. Very cool.
6) Mint - Financial reporting. Getting rid of Quicken never felt so good. Working on plugging our business into it as well to get some of the great expense reporting features that we can't get out of our accounting system.
7) Ride Metra - If you're a Chicagoan this is the best Metra app I've found.
8) Traffic.com app - Terrible app but you can set up your own drives on traffic.com and they have the most reliable data I've found. One touch access to how wonderful your commute home will be. Worth the hassle of setup.
9) TripIt - Automatically scans your email inbox periodically and generates travel itineraries for you based on confirmation emails from airlines/hotels/travel sites. Brilliant.
10) Siri - Oh Siri, where do I even start? You've changed my world and made me a safer driver in the process.
What other productivity apps rock your world?
