Best of 2011 nominations: iPhone productivity apps

During December and January, The Unofficial Apple Weblog is soliciting your nominations and votes for the best products for Mac, iPhone/iPod touch, and iPad. We'll start with nominations in a category, and then tally your votes for the top-nominated products a few days later. The winner in each category receives the highly-coveted title of TUAW Best of 2011.

Today's category for TUAW Best of 2011 nominations is iPhone productivity apps. Sure, the iPhone is fun and it's wonderful for keeping in touch with friends and family. But it's also a productivity tool that goes everywhere with you.

What apps are included in this category? Well, according to the App Store on the evening of December 18, 2011, there were a total of 6,464 apps in the productivity category. Will Apple's Pages ($9.99), Numbers ($9.99), or Keynote ($9.99) take the prize?

Evernote (free) works on the iPhone as well, and it was the winner of our TUAW Best of 2011 award for Mac productivity apps. Will Evernote grab the award on the iPhone as well? Or will Dropbox (free) pick up the award this time?

Mac and PC owners both love to control their personal computers from anywhere, and LogMeIn Ignition ($29.99) could be a fan favorite in the productivity category. Perhaps Microsoft will pick up a winner with the new SkyDrive (free) cloud storage app.

TUAW wants to hear from you -- what's your favorite iPhone productivity app for keeping you up to speed with your workload? Leave your nomination in the comments below. Voting will start soon!

Nominations close at 11:59 PM ET on December 20, 2011.

2012 is the year of a new concept: the "to go" list.
There are plenty of "to do" list apps out there, but with the power of smart phones we can now create "to go" lists and get reminded when you are near a place you want to go to.
near2there is the best of these.

Simple In/Out. A great digital in/out board for the office. And it uses geofences to check in or out without having to open the app.

Any To Do for iPhone and iPad with its quadrant view helps me to stay organized, it syncs with Evernote which is my second nomination

Springpad and 2Do are my favorite productivity apps.

Springpad is great for saving things like articles, notes, lists, recipies, and the list goes on. And the fact that it's free makes it even better. It is essential during the Christmas season because I can save products as gift ideas for people and it will alert me when there's a price drop.

2Do is my favorite task manager app. It integrates almost perfectly with the built in reminders app on the iPhone so it works well with Siri. It also does location based reminders. It is a well designed app and it should definitely be up for nomination.
