  1. Evernote is a must-have application that is indispensible, while you’re at it get Dropbox and Read It Later – the paid version of RIL is excellent. If you have an iPhone/izpod Touch/iPad get Simplenote, too. That’s my US$0.02

  2. Low Profile Gem:

    The most indispensable App I use is iData3 ( early Mac users may remember it’s original incarnation as QuickDex by Cassady & Greene) It now, also, has a syncable mobile counterpart App called iData Mobile.

    Not a day in the last 20 years that this trusty App hasn’t been there to ‘instantly’ search and serve up any information or data you store in it, at the touch of of the return key.
