It helps people find restaurants, lodging, gas, banks, etc. in new cities.

Skype provides video calling, voice calling, online voicemail, instant messaging and more. Available across a variety of platforms and carriers, it is a valuable (and inexpensive) piece of software that makes business meetings much more convenient.
• Evernote. This versatile little app does a lot. It captures and stores info in the form of audio clips, photographs, notes and more and automatically synchronizes the data with other devices.
