Applications available across popular platforms

At least some developers have the good sense to make their applications available across popular platforms.

Dropbox is a free cloud-based storage service and collaboration tool that allows access to files from any internet-connected desktop or mobile device. Signing up gives you 2GB of free storage

2 Evernote
Evernote is an advanced note-taking application that allows synchronisation of notes, voice memos, screenshots, websites & photos among various devices. The free account gives you a quota of 60MB per month

3 Google Apps
Google Apps include various apps for accessing and using Google services such as sync, Maps, chat, Gmail, search and Places. Not all services are available across each platform, but whatever is available to download will show up automatically

4 Opera Mini
Opera Mini is the browser to use instead of the pre-installed one. It adds functionality like tabbed browsing, optimised web page view, synchronisation between devices and data compression up to 90% to save on data transfer costs

5 Social Net-working Apps
Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin are the most commonly used social networking services and all of them have their own apps available across devices for free. There are alternatives available, but only a few are worth choosing over the official ones

6 WhatsApp Messenger
With this app, you can chat for free (using GPRS/3G/Wi-Fi) with other friends on WhatsApp, anywhere in the world. it shows delivery and read receipts and you can also group chat between different devices, send audio files, videos as well as images
