Company-specific iPhone apps come in handy

Thanks to a few company-specific iPhone applications, the hand-held device is more helpful then ever before.

When you're managing your money, a few companies have apps that will get the job done. E*TRADE Mobile Pro will assist with trading and investing in the stock market. Chase and Bank of America offer banking apps as well, taking the lead. These apps enable you to locate store branches, pay bills and credit cards, and contact the bank with a touch of a button.

The cost? Free.

Now, the iPhone comes in handy at the scene of a crime. Nationwide Insurance offers Nationwide Mobile free to its customers. This app can be used to report accidents, start claims and find local repair shops. State Farm Insurance was quick to release their 1.0 application, called the State Farm Pocket Agent. Although the first version is light on features, the company makes a point that the app is very easy to use.
