Many domain investors are on-the-go and away from their computer for a good portion of every day. The problem is that domain name inspiration can strike at any time — watching TV, in transit, at a meal, or at the gym — and looking up availability, whois information, and alternatives is difficult without a computer. Fortunately, there are a number of domain name-related iPhone applications that you can take with you to accomplish these tasks.
These 10 essential iPhone apps will help you to determine the availability of your desired domain name, enter keywords to produce domain name suggestions, look up important information on existing domain names, and much more. These apps are available in the iTunes store, and most run on iOS 3.0 or higher and are under $2.00.
