Create Your Own iPhone App

You don't need to be a web guru to design your own iPhone "app" (that's apple-speak for "application"). The newly launched Sweb Apps creates well-designed, customizable apps for a myriad of businesses, from restaurants to non-profits to retail stores. Through your app, customers can make purchases, contact you by phone or email, read your blog, and much more. Sweb Apps charges a one-time setup fee of $200-400, plus a hosting fee of $25/month. --Brian Luskey, Associate Editor

Book Trips Through Outlook

Most small business owners have to plan and book their own business trips. But now there's a tool that allows you to schedule a business meeting and seamlessly book the travel related to that meeting at the same time: Tripware Outbook. This free plug-in works with your existing Microsoft Outlook software to simplify business travel. In just minutes, you can compare prices and book flights, hotels, and rental cars. And your personal OutBook account helps keep things organized by storing your personal travel preferences, managing your travel rewards programs, and tracking travel costs for expense reports.  --Brian Luskey, Associate Editor

Salesforce.com for Free on Your Phone

Salesforce.com, the powerhouse in customer relationship management (CRM) software, is offering its customers a free, slimmed down version of the program for BlackBerry smartphones running Windows, as well as the iPhone, PCWorld reports.  Users will be able to view customer data and respond to their queries, but not have access to more customized features. Salesforce.com charges $50 a month for a more robust version of the mobile software.  Analysts see the offer as a beachhead for Salesforce.com in the world of mobile apps, with a view toward monetization later.  A version for Google's Android mobile phone operating system is in the works. --Jeff B. Copeland, Content Product Manager
