Useful FFXIV Smartphone apps

I'll never understand why people need (or make) phone apps for a game that requires an internet connection. I could see the argument for PS3 users, but we're not there yet.

So you don't need to alt-tab, one click to view news when you are out, one click to view the forums, I prefer using my phone to look things up while i'm playing mainly because for some reason playing FFXIV lags my whole laptop (cept FFXIV) so it helps alot.

There are alot of reasons, and PS3 users have less reason to use them becuase they can have a laptop sat next to them, yes we can as well, but chances are that we are playing on the only PC/laptop close, so we have to alt-tab (possibly crash if you play full screen), then type the URL or use bookmark, then search for the item, whereas with a smartphone you just need to open the app, and search, its alot faster (especially because the data can be stored localy if you have a slow internet connection, many reasons my friend many reasons.
