    Google Docs

    Price: Free
    Platform: Android

    If you've ever wanted access to a document on Google Docs, but haven't had any coverage, then this update is for you. Google has updated its Google Docs app so that you can select any file in Google Docs to make it available offline. It automatically updates offline files when you're on Wi-Fi, or you can manually update files any time you have a connection by opening the file or tapping "update" from the app's offline section. The company has also improved the app for those using tablets. Tablet users will get high-resolution versions of the documents.

    PwC myTravel

    Price: Free
    Platform: iOS (iPhone), Android, BlackBerry

    With employees going overseas on short assignments, it's difficult for businesses to keep track of where their jet-setting workers are, and whether they're meeting global tax requirements. This app helps busy business travellers keep track of their location for the business. Travellers can choose to record their location automatically or manually — and organisations can set it to automatically track through corporate-issued mobile devices.

    MarketMarks

    Price: Free
    Platform: Android

    The inability to put apps in the Android market on to some sort of save list or wish list for later can be somewhat vexing. It was with some pleasure, therefore, that we found MarketMarks, an app that lets you bookmark apps for another day. It's really easy to use; once MarketMarks is installed, you choose the "Share" option for an app from within the Marketplace, and select "MarketMarks" — and it's saved. Sometimes, it really is the simple things.
