If you’re an attorney, chances are you’re electronically connected to the outside world via a smartphone; most likely a BlackBerry or an iPhone. This makes sense. It allows you to get your email, make calls, see your calendar, see your to-do list, and even sync all these with your firm’s server. In addition to these capabilities, these phones can also run applications, or Apps, which provide even more functionality. We will talk about BlackBerrys and their possibilities here.

Top Downloadable Apps

BEIKS Bouvier’s Law Dictionary is available and easily searchable on most BlackBerrys. The cost is $19.95.

QuickOffice 4.6 is a document editing app that allows you to edit Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat files. This app picks up where DocumentsToGo leaves off. Although you won’t be able to create award-winning spreadsheets with this app, it does allow for quick edits and creation of new documents.

RDM plus (Remote Desktop for Mobiles) provides access to your computer from your BlackBerry. The software works for both Mac and PC and costs $39.99.
