Dropbox for Android & Blackberry

No matter what platform you use, Dropbox is available to you.   To organise your coursework, business or media. My preference is the iPhone and iPad but Android and Blackberry users can install DropBox too.

Assistant App

Assistant App is a great new app powered by the Nuance voice technology used for Dragon and other applications.   It allows you to organise your time by way of a calendar with all dates and events now added by voice recording. As a dyslexic it allows me to take ownership in planning my time but also means that others can set me reminders.  Hearing a voice relay the information to me is a great help. Assistant App
