From Reid Trautz, Attorney and friend to Practicehackers everywhere, comes this handy article, which begins:

In a few weeks I’ll be presenting 60 iPhone Apps in 60 Minutes at ABA TECHSHOW but thought I’d share a sneak peek at ten of the best apps for busy lawyers. Thanks to co-presenter Jeff Richardson of iPhoneJD for his contributions to this post. These are among the top apps to keep iPhone lawyers productive and successful.

Here is the short-version of what Reid is talking about:

AppBoxPro.  Multi-function apps for iPhone including currency converter, date calculator, translator, etc. $0.99

Bento. Simple, powerful database.  Looks like iTunes and is designed to be easy to use.  Syncs to desktop.   Templates for common tasks included as well. $4.99

Bump. Open the app on iPhone, select how much to share, gently bump with another iPhone, and viola – the information has been shared. $free

Documents to Go (Premium Ed.) Create, edit, and view Word, Excel and PowerPoint’s, plus view PDF’s and other formats.  Essential for most every lawyer.

Dragon Dictation. Free, easy-to-use, and accurate voice-recognition on your iPhone.  Quick alternative to typing e-mails, texts, tweets, or FB updates.

DropBox. File sharing service providing online storage and access from multiple devices. Get up to 2 gigs of storage for free and 50 gigs for just $10 per month

Google Mobile. Google’s mobile app does much more then find stuff, but the voice search feature is extra cool and easier than typing.

People.  Free “White Pages” database and reverse phone # directory.

ScanR Business Center. (See also DocScanner and JotNot) Similar apps may cost less but ScanR is worth the price. Create PDFs using your iPhone camera or a picture.

Skype. You already know what this does. It works great on the  iPhone as well as the Mac.
