Mobile phone applications are being downloaded at an impressive rate. In fact a research company called Gartner just announced earlier this year that by the end of 2014, over 185 billion applications will have been downloaded from mobile app stores, since the launch of the first one in July 2008.  Apps are being developed to do everything from monitor your health to organize your finances, but what are the favorite applications being used by those who work in various parts of the tech industry?  I  decided to go behind the screen with a few members of the technorati and find out.

Cardio Trainer tops Mark Nyon’s list.  “My favorite app right now is easily Cardio Trainer by Worksmart Labs. It’s free, and uses GPS to track my route as I rollerblade (I rollerblade between 30 and 50 miles per week). This exercise is helps me maintain my life/work balance as the principal and CEO of Grand Kru Technologies.”
