My wife brought me an i phone for me birthday a few weeks ago and to be honest I thought it was a waste of money, now I've had time tohave a mess about with it I realize what a fantastic tool it is, from a work point of view its becoming invaluable.
Anyone else of the same opinion for android phones also, and anyone got any reviews of apps installed - I’ve a few and will post if anyone else interested

Regards AP

I use to have an old bog standard phone that made phone calls and texts, that's all I think u needed until I moved with the times and got a HTC Android. Just like you AP once I got my head around the usage of the phone it is now one of the most important tool I have.

Receiving and sending emails whilst out and about, internet to source materials if your working out of your normal area, down loaded pdf files for best practice guides and tables from the regs. And when your having a coffee break you can jump on here or play angry birds lol.
 
iPad is the best thing I have ever bought. But you can get a lot of these apps on iPhone too.

Invoice2go app I do all my estimates on it and invoices on it from the comfort of my front room.

eBay because non of us like to miss a bargain.

Paybyphone parking app makes parking in London a lot quicker, unfortunately not cheaper lol

London tube map

Train time tables

Tomtom satnav

News paper

17th edition and osg

Books

Callander and note pad.

The list goes on mine goes everywhere with me.

The best bit is it is all linked together computer iPhone and iPad. Put them on charge at night all sync together and to iCloud so if the worst does happen get a new iPad get a new iPhone username and password in and re sync it all.
 
App called iquote for me all the way, input most used materials and prices - then quote jobs to nearest penny there and then even putting on mark up. love it no more getting home to start quoting.....
