How much is it worth to you to make a good impression on your Chilean business partners?

Really, that's what the Chile: Business Traveler's Passport iPhone app is all about. It's light on the "what to see"/"where to go" info and heavy on the "how do I greet a business partner"/"how much should I tip"/"what is that thing on the menu" answers.

The app contains a few hundred pages of information on Chile, with a focus on areas of particular concern to the business traveler. This info is completely self-contained within the app; it's a great read for the plane ride over. The app has entire sections of information on:
