Speaking of the iPhone....

Anyone come across any interesting applications for architects? For example, the new color programs by Benjamin Moore/Sherwin Williams...

yeah that's the problem - all the programming! i was reading this article in the NYTimes this weekend, and they mentioned this app called "Limbo" which supposedly allows you to "compete against other out-of-work architects to design projects that will never be built." however, i can't seem to find anything about it online other than some lame social application. anyway, i came up with this list here, if any of you are interested!

i've been looking for a feet/inches calculator as a widget forever now, it would be nice to have that as an app...there are soooo many other calculators, convert this, measure that, but no feet/inches calc.

there are LEED prep materials--just go to the app store and search for "LEED"

$35 for flash cards that you can easily carry in your pocket isn't so bad…

There are ARE study aps...

Although it pricey, I recommend the archflash cards for iPhone... It's the se as the paper flashcards but on your phone... The interface is well designed, you can browse cards in three ways: by exam section, search on a keyword, or checkbox any topics you want included...

Another AP I have is autodesk sketchbook.. It's a basic drawing software for your iPhone, a bit like paint, but you can save sketches...
