So what are my ten favorite apps for business… well here you go:

I love Evernote as it enables me to work seamlessly from either my MacBook, my iPad or my iPhone 4. It has become my unique tool for capturing my notes, writing papers and brainstorming.

I also use World Flights, not only because I designed it, but mainly because I designed it to fill my specific needs as one on the World’s most frequent flyers (one round the world trip per month with at least 6 stop overs and all the small trips in between). World Flights enables me to track the status of my flights using many different search approaches depending on my situation at any given moment. For $1.99 it is the best value for money flight tracker on the AppStore.

IFindHotels is also a very good mobile search engine to find and book the best deals for almost any given hotel worldwide. It quickly became a must have for my ever changing plans.

I use Truphone to minimize roaming costs while on wifi networked around the world and to call my foreign customers. Truphone Anywhere is also a wonderful way to call abroad while not connected to wifi.

QuickOffice let’s me store and edit Word and Excel documents (even though working with spreadsheets is a little tedious) and has become a must have to quickly react to changes in contracts or other documents.

Convert is another must have to quickly convert anything into anything, from currencies to measurements and temperatures, the calculator-like look and feel and functionality is a real winner.

I also use iBooks to not only store and read my books but also store my PDFs and since the iPad, I am storing all my presentations as PDF on iBooks for impromptu coffee table presentations.

Things is also my favorite task manager, like Evernote it let me seamlessly work from either my Mac, my iPhone or my iPad.

Of course after a long business day or during a small break having a few games is also part of the whole experience my favorites are by far the superb Angry Birds and Bejeweled 2 (mainly for Bejeweled Blitz which is a great way to spend a spare minute).

There are so many new iOs apps coming out everyday that it is harder and harder to find that gem that you are going to use, share and love but I have just found mine: Silent Film Director.

Silent Film Director is a very clever iPhone app that turns your movies into silent 20s style movies a la “The Artist”, it is fun, intuitive and adds a real flavor to your movies. I have never had so many Facebook Likes on my videos that since I have uploaded a few creation from this little masterpiece.

Check it out on for yourself on this youTube video I shot of my daughter and click on the app icon to get it from iTunes:

Did you ever wonder why it took Apple ten months to produce the white iPhone 4, which finally goes on sale tomorrow? According to The Wall Street Journal’s Mobilized blog, white iPhones need UV protection. Author Ina Fried interviewed both Apple’s boss Steve Jobs and marketing honcho Phil Schiller. The latter said:

It was challenging. It’s not as simple as making something white. There’s a lot more that goes into both the material science of it–how it holds up over time…but also in how it all works with the sensors.

And here’s from Jobs:

We obviously think about this in a generic way because you have a white iPad.

Jobs also confirmed that an upcoming iOS update will address that location tracking issue that Apple earlier today characterized as a “bug” and confirmed Apple will next week testify in a Congress hearing about location-gathering practices.

With the superb camera in the iPhone 4S, I recently decided to solely use my iPhone for point and shoot photography and came across this little gem.

There are so many effects to play with with that I was finally able to delete the myriad of “one effect” photo editing apps and save a huge amount of space on my iPhone screen ;-)

The ergonomics are incredible and most importantly, the effects render very well when porting photos to a large screen.

Well done to the dev team!

Make sure you grab this during their Black Friday Special!

Here is what shows on iTunes for this app:

Mel Martin from TUAW says:
“If I could only take one photo editing app into the field I’d likely choose FX Photo Studio, and urge iPhone photographers to take a look. It’s a lot of power to carry around in a pocket.”

Jason Parker from CNET says:
