A recent report has indicated that by the end of 2014, global population of Smartphone users will cross 3 billion. Some of us might doubt this; however to me, there is a logical estimate on the basis of current trends in the market. Global sale of smartphones in 2011 has been estimated as 472 million, where Apple sold over 90 million and Samsung led the market with selling over 97 million Galaxies. IPhone 4 again remained the hottest selling item with astonishing 37 million sales in 98 days.

Are these devices popular only for glamour? I don’t think so. I feel that they really have something which makes them worthy of praise and that something is their features and applications. I have been a student of management sciences, and have to face lots of tasks in my professional life. I have to manage my job responsibilities along with my business and a personal management blog. Hence, I always strive to find something which could enable me manage my time and tasks in a much better way.

My iPhone has really been very helpful for me in my professional life. Luckily, I found some very useful applications which increased my productivity and reduced the cost of doing things in my life.
