Looking to develop an iPhone app for your business? Then check out the forthcoming training course from Big Wave Media.

On the 1 June they have a one day course for marketing professionals, web masters - in fact anyone interested in an overview of iPhone Apps and the related technology as opposed to the in depth coding experience.

If you are looking to design an App, commission one, or simply looking to find out more about how they are built, and what they can do for you or your business, then this programme looks to be a good overview as it covers the different types of Apps, technologies, the key terminology, the designing and building process, and related terminologies, and typical obstacles.

Today I was hosting a meeting and unfortunately duue to the weather one of the attendees could not join us as their flight was cancelled from the UK.

So we decided at the last minute to connect through a conference call. We were in a hotel and the call was going to be for over 2 hours - so what other options did I have for making the call?

- I have a low cost calling card

- I have Skype on my laptop

- but what I opted for was Skype on the iPhone.

We had four people in one conference room with my iPhone and placed the phone in the middle of the meeting table. And with the speaker phone on we were able to speak to our colleague on their office landline. I have a monthly account for worldwide Skype calls of just €8.95 plus vat per month for unlimited number of calls to landline. How is that for keeping your communication costs down?

I use Skype all the time in the office - now with this app I just might use them for conference calls on the run.

What's your favourite example of using Skype to connect to colleagues, customers, familyy and friends?

Today I am testing out IPadio.com - an application that you can use to set up your own podcasts - both online and using your iPhone.

I discuss in this short audio recorded on my iPhone some of the great features of Ipadio.com. One feature however that did not work for me was the automatic cross posting to my account here on Posterous - so instead I took the embed code to add it here.

Are you using Ipadio.com? What tips do you have for podcasting from the road with your iPhone?

Find my profile and podcasts on Ipadio here.

Find my previous series of podcasts using Audioboo about iPhone applications here.

Today I am in conversation with Dave Murphy of A2A Taxis about his tips for using your iPhone and favourite iPhone apps.

This time I recorded the audio with the iPhone Voice Memo recorder as I was in a bad wi-fi zone and had another podcast with Audioboo.fm about to be published. I then accessed the audio from my ITunes library when back in the office, converted it to an mp3 file and then uploaded the audio file to Audioboo.com.

You see you don't need to have an iPhone to use Audioboo.fm to use the service - you could always record your own audio and then upload it as I did today. The iPhone was only used in my case for recording the interview.

What other iPhone apps or audio podcasting tips do you have?

I am on a quest to discover iPhone applications that my friends and colleagues find boost their productivity, help them with their job or are just great fun.

Listen in to my conversations with my good friend Brian O'Malley who shared some really helpful tips and his favourite iPhone apps.

What apps do you recommend. Oh and again this is being recorded with one of my favourite apps of the moment allowing me to podcast from the road - Audioboo.com - if you have missed any of my recent Audiboo's you can find them here. And you can subscribe to them in iTunes.
