Although America is currently in the midst of a recession, there are still many people dreaming of being their own boss and owning their own business. In fact, the entrepreneurial spirit in this country is so strong that many companies 
have added software applications to their Smartphone products that are specifically designed to help young entrepreneurs. There are five applications that are particularly useful.
