One interesting product is I'm InTouch, http://www.imintouch.net , that allows you to not only remotely control your computer but also lets you check your outlook and transfer files from a mobile phone.

Wouldn't this be nice to have our grandchildren say "Bill Gates - you mean the guy who helped cure malaria or AIDS" rather than "Bill Gates, the guy who built DOS and Windows?"

You might like to add Front Office Box top the list. I've been studying online apps for CRM/Opportunity Management and by far the best I've come across is this one - looks really nice and does just what you want it to do, teh way you want it to. nice to see the list growing.

These "software-free" apps become all the more important as mobile lifestyles -- and continuous data backup -- become the norm. I also recommend listing "remote access" apps for accessing office-based computers while on the road. These are also great for those who don't want to lug a laptop around the planet: GoToMyPC: www.gotomypc.com WebEx PCNow: http://pcnow.webex.com/MyWebExWeb/MyWebexPortal.portal Great post!

You might want to add <a href="http://www.blinksale.com">Blinksale</a> under Accounting & Billing. I've been using that for the past few months -- it's very simple and easy to use. Cool list!
