1.Evernote Everyone loves Evernote. I use Simplenote on my iPhone and laptop but all this positivity around Evernote may just sway me!
2 Drop Box I use this file-sharing site on my MacBook Pro and it is’s excellent
3. Informant First I’ve heard of this one but it won the ‘Best of Show 2011′ at this year’s MacWorld Expo
4. Good Reader Your choice for reading PDFs
