One of my clients wants their salespeople to be able to walk around any city and use their iPhones to see which companies are nearby.

Hoover’s Near Here app for the iPhone is a mobile, location-aware database of companies and contacts, anywhere you go. Read the write-up by the developers who designed the app itself at Mutual Mobile.

This new iPhone app from Hoover’s is full of promise, even for a $20 app. I just downloaded it and within one minute found the name of my wife’s boss.
