Travel help for road warriors part of expanded iPhone apps catalog

Online tool lets you sort apps by more specific categories than the Apple store provides

Two new apps aimed at business travelers are among the latest additions to InfoWorld.com's iPhone business apps catalog -- an interactive listing of Phone apps of use to professionals, businesses, and IT staff. The two travels apps are Airport Maps, which now provides facilities maps of major Canadian airports in addition to U.S. ones, and Flight Track Pro, which lets you check real-time flight information directly from your iPhone.

The "no junk" iPhone business apps finder contains more than 240 apps in 24 categories. InfoWorld's editors regulaly update the free apps finder with useful apps for professionals, businesses, and IT staff.

The online tool lets people sort apps by more specific categories than the Apple store provides, as well as by name, price, and release date. The service has no cost and is available at infoworld.com/iphone-apps. Users with a U.S. iTunes account can download apps to iTunes from the InfoWorld business app catalog; iTunes must be installed on your computer.

The catalog contains only iPhone apps deemed useful for business users, excluding the bulk of the apps labeled "business" at the App Store, as many are not really business apps or are of dubious value.

InfoWorld's editors will continue to add new apps and categories to the catalog as merited.

InfoWorld is a Web-based publication devoted to emerging technology and hands-on business tech expertise. It has also published "Deep Dive" PDF special reports on enterprise iPhone and next-gen mobile devices.
