When you’re on the road or travelling you need to take notes on your iPhone. There are usually three ways: taking notes on the iPhone Notes application, take a Voice Memos audio recording (see my previous blog posts, Dictate on an iPhone, note taking and syncing with iTunes, or taking Voice Memos on an iPhone), or if you have an app that you can do videos, check out Apple’s compare phones web site to see what video differences there are between the 3GS, 4, and 4S.

It’s about your money, and how much it costs you to use and hang onto a company’s product.

Apple recently had their iPhone 4S launch, to some an anticipated new Apple product, to others a MUCH anticipated new Apple product which became disappointing. Did Apple miss it? Did Apple flub it? How could Apple disappoint their customers so much?

One of the things startup entrepreneurs do is work to be productive with their Mac and iPhone as a team of tools, a team of tools in your entrepreneur toolbox. In a recent blog post, Business use of iPhone Voice Memo about taking notes using the iPhone’s Voice Memo, I outlined a simple way of recording things while you are on the road. Years ago bosses use to say to their secretary, or maybe to today’s administrative or virtual assistant, “Take a Memo!”
Not any more, it’s more likely the bosses taking their own memos.
You can still use the iPhone’s Voice Memo to record your thoughts as you have them, if you have an idea for another book or blog post. But what if you want to communicate with others.
Now there’s a new solution in town: Dragon Dictation by Nuance Communications.

As an startup entrepreneur using a Mac, we’ve come a long way baby. But the real question is: Where are we going? Well, take a look at Cisco’s The Internet of Things [INFOGRAPHIC] of where we’re been and you can extrapolate where we’re headed.
Now watch how your Mac, iPhone, and iPad connects with this information and you’ll get a good idea of what will happen in the near future.
Question is, will you be the next Facebook, Twitter, or other tech company designing products for Apple products?

As a startup entrepreneur using a Mac you are always looking for steps to save time and reduce frustrations. Well here’s a tip that makes your various appointments easy to work with and helps in the long run if things get hectic.
When making an appointment in iCal if you are pasting the address and telephone number into the “Location” field in iCal, paste the same information into the Notes section of your iCal event. While you now have the same information in both places, they both do different things. Here’s what happens.
When you paste both the phone number (either the event location phone number or your contact’s phone number) and the address into the Notes section of your iCal event and you sync your Mac and iPhone up both pieces of information become finger clickable links in your iCal event.
How do I use this?

Any startup entrepreneur runs across periods of time where they can get some things done while waiting or they’re on the road. Texting can take a lot of time and sometimes the “fat finger” issue with typing makes matters worse. My wife is a realtor and she’s on the road a lot and “has time” and would like to answer her email on the road, but can’t text or type. Well, here’s a way around that: iPhone Voice Memo.
Wherever you are “on the road” in your car, at your local car mechanic getting your car worked on, or picking up your kids from school or the daycare center, you can use the Voice Memo app to record your thoughts for later retrieval and sharing with your customers, vendors, family members, or other contacts.
