Top Business iPad, Android Tablet Business Apps: Calvetica and Zillow

As far as business apps for the iPad and Android tablets go, Calvetia is the highlight of this week’s list. The app, available for all iOS devices,  puts a new twist on a simple and oft-used concept on calendaring by blending in a number of unique elements, with an eye for graphic quality as well.

iPad

Calvetica 

Calvetica integrates handy note-taking functionality into the core calendaring options, while wrapping it all up with rich details laid out in a tablet-optimized view. In addition to providing a fair amount of customization the app also puts a new twist on things, such as follow-up alerts with a snooze option.

AirStrip

AirStrip is designed for hospital staff that has the possibility to monitor their patients remotely.  The iPad app taps into the data pulled from patient monitors in a given facility by the on-premise system and streams it in near-real time to the tablet-holder with all the relevant details.

AutoCAD WS

AutoCAD is the first of the two real estate-related tablet apps in this roundup. This one is designed for architects that want to work with their blueprints on-the-go, and offers the ability to edit designs, collaborate on projects with real-time edits and more.

Android

Zillow

The Property search site service launched its first Android tablet app just a few days ago. Users can view listings and various estimates along with other property-related information via map-based search; search for properties based on customized filters etc. Much to the delight of sellers, users can also share a listing via their social networking profiles even if they’re not particular interested in that given asset but know someone who is.

ToutApp

ToutApp is an email marketing tool. It plugs into Gmail and the user’s CRM system, and offers things such as templates to minimize the time it takes to send out a message to a potential client.
