Web Worker Daily lists eight free or nearly free applications for your cell phone, all of them designed to give your productivity a boost. We've covered a few of them before, like Goog-411, but there's plenty of fresh stuff here, too. For example:

Viigo. Viigo is a very nice little program for Windows Mobile users who want to organize and customize news and RSS feeds. It's also easy to forward interesting content to people in your address book.
TellMe. TellMe has several useful services for mobile phone users. If you call their 1-800-555-TELL line and say "Business Search" you can track down businesses through a voice recognition system. You can also send text searches to 83556 with requests like "pizza Los Angeles CA" and TellMe will send you back pizza options.

Of course, I can't let a list like this go by without mentioning Jott, which continues to be the MVP on my phone. If there's a particularly handy app or service you want to share with your fellow BizHackers, click the Comments link up top and have at it.
