TekGoblin Reviews rating:
The Personal Assistant app for the iPhone by Pageonce is a must have. What’s so great about the Personal Assistant app? I’ll tell you. The app has tons of features to make your day easier. The Personal Assistant app allows you to access various different accounts and services that you may have. For Example you can see updates to your flights, bank accounts, credit cards, Netflix, Amazon.com, and more…
The app has an easy to use interface which allows for quick navigation to everything within. Another great feature of this app is that it allows you to do remote deletion of private account data via the Pageonce website if your phone or iPod is stolen. The app includes the following options:
- Credit Card Control
- Bank Account Status
- Investment Portfolio
- Cell Minute Tracker
- Frequent Flyer Miles
- Travel Itineraries
- Shopping Management
- Bill Management
- Netflix Queue
- Alerts
Manage accounts from accounts such as:
- Bloomberg, Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Fidelity, United, Southwest, Comcast, AT&T, Blockbuster, Linkedin, MySpace, Facebook, Amazon, eBay, Skype, and thousands more.

The difference between the paid version and regular is, The paid version has no ads, refresh all accounts in one click, Real time flight information, exclusive personal pin number for added security.
I do recommend the Personal Assistant app if you would like to keep all of your accounts in one easy to use place for quick access. This app is also great if you are concerned with your private data, because it does allow data destruction upon theft of your device. If you are indeed concerned about your data and Pageonce, take a look at their privacy page here.

Who would have thought that someone would come up with a way to have a PowerPoint meeting over the iPhone. MightyMeeting lets you have that meeting anywhere you want to.
First you download the MightyMeeting App from the App Store or you can even view their WebApp without even installing the application on the iPhone. After launching the App you will be asked to either register or login for the first time. If you already have a MightyMetting account you can start viewing your presentations right away.
Once you have uploaded PowerPoint presentations online you can start meetings from your iPhone or iPod touch, and even the web, all you have to do is press the “Meet Now” button. Meetings can be initiated over the web, email invitation, or SMS. While in a meeting, attendees can chat in real-times via the chat interface while in a meeting.
MightyMeeting supports meetings over 3G and Wi-Fi as well as while you are in a call so you can be in a web meeting and deliver a voice presentation to go with it anywhere you are.
MightyMeeting presentations can either be kept private in your account or made public and posted via Twitter and Facebook as well as blog entries. MightyMeeting is definately a unique app and I do recommend it to anyone that does presentations often and travels frequently. With MightyMeeting, you can make your next conference call that much better by hosting a presentation from your iPhone.
Here is the getting started guide and a demo video from the creators of MightyMeeting:

iSearch offers you a alternative to using Safari to search on your iPhone or iTouch. iSearch has an easy to use interface that lists your search results in an easy to read view. iSearch uses either the Yahoo.com search engine or the Bing.com search engine to drive your search results.The app also allows you to do image searches as well. iSearch also allows you to actually open the website inside the application instead of using Safari.
I like this app personally because it does a great job in organizing your search results in a small window. The app also does a great job displaying images in thumbnail view so you can see a preview before you click on it. The only drawback at this point that I can see is, that it only allows you to use Bing, and Yahoo. I would like to use Google search on this app, holpefully we will see this in the near future.

If you have used iSearch before please leave a comment and rate it below or above. Thanks!

With the Doodle Buddy app from the app store, you can actually keep your finger busy. Doodle Buddy allows you to finger paint with your fingers! You can doodle with different colors, drop in emoticon stamps and even add your own pictures to your doodle. This app makes doodling even more fun by allowing you to doodle online with anyone that has the Doodle Buddy app!
I think this app is great! It allows you to pass time almost anywhere! I was able to sit down with Doodle Buddy and easily figure out the interface and was doodling in no time. Started doodling and want to start over? Just shake the iPhone and it will clear the screen!
Want other people to see your doodles? You can share them on Facebook! The most recent version if Doodle Buddy updated the stability of this app and fixed some bugs. So if you had this app but got rid of it because of those reasons, then download it and try it again.
Free App!

The Evernote app for the iPhone and iPod Touch allows lets you create notes, snap photos, and record voice memos that you can then access any time from your iPhone, computer, or the web. The Evernote app has a very clean interface, which makes it very easy to navigate it’s menus. The only downfall of this app is that you have to register or login to even use the app, so it can’t be used offline. I do like the ability to sync all of your notes to your computer or the web, and even Twitter. The app also supports being turned on it’s side, so if you flip your iPod or iPhone on it’s side, the app will adjust.
Features:
- Create text, snapshot, and voice notes any time
- Snap photos of white board, business cards, or wine labels and Evernote will recognize the text in the images
- Turn your iPhone on its side to scroll through an endless stream of notes.
- Quickly find your by location using Evernote’s map view
Specs:
- For iPhone and iPod Touch
- Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
Price: Free

Ever see barcodes on advertisements or on your tv screen that look like this?

Well now you can uncover the mystery of these types of barcodes with NeoReader. NeoReader reads Data Matrix, QR, and Aztec barcodes. All you have to do is launch NeoReader and hit the scan button, position the barcode in the center of the screen and tap the camera icon to take a picture and see what the barcode says or does. If the barcode is supposed to lead to a website, the app will automatically forward you to that site. If the barcode only contains a message, the app will tell you what that message is.
I have used this app many times, and I believe NeoReader is the best Free barcode scanner for Data Martix, QR, and Aztec codes. NeoReader is also available on other mobile platforms as well.
Price: Free

Manufacturers that NeoReader supports:
If your phone manufacturer is listed, visit http://get.neoreader.com/go on your mobile phone to see if your specific model is supported.
Below are some screen shots of the app in action:
