In Pictures: Top 25 iPhone and iPad apps for business

Apple's iPhone and iPad may have been built for consumers, but the folks in Cupertino correctly guessed that what's good for consumers is good for businesses. The only stumbling block may be the growing volume of apps available: more 140,000 natively for the iPad and over 500,000 that work on the iPhone and iPad. Here are 25 go-to iOS apps for business users, from travel planning to document editing using Microsoft Office tools to time tracking to getting a good night's sleep.

Wyse PocketCloud Pro

There are plenty of remote desktop apps that mirror your computer on an iPad or iPhone. Among them, PocketCloud Pro does a great job of mixing ease-of-use (once you get past a short learning curve), performance, and security. (Print the accompanying screen shot as a cheat sheet for controlling your desktop using the app.) CIOs will be comforted to know that the app supports the latest RDP protocol, 128-bit encryption, and FIPS and NLA and claims to be the only iOS app supporting CredSSP, with NTLM and Kerberos encryption levels. If your computer is set up with two displays, PocketCloud Pro will mirror them both, unlike some remote desktop apps.
