Other applications can run at the same time, and you can still receive calls. color_expert_appColor Expert This app is an interactive color wheel and swatch library that helps identify, translate, capture and showcase color. Video Photoshop CS4photoshop_tips_app This application gives you useful information on the go. This series contains more than an hour of training.

HTML Cheat Sheet Even seasoned web designers need a quick refresher course in HTML details from time to time. The HTML Cheat Sheet is designed to address that need. It’s a great quick reference for topics you’ve already learned but need a few reminders. If you’re still a beginner to HTML, use it to better understand what HTML is capable of.color_app CSS Cheat Sheet This is a native app, not just a link out to internet references.

What the Font Thank God for this app. When you see a great font in a magazine ad, poster or on the web and wonder what font it is, you can whip out your iPhone, snap a photo, and WhatTheFont will identify that font in seconds. And best of all, it’s free. Now, two more iPhone apps just for fun. Eye vs. Eye $.99 This friendly color-matching game pits you against an opponent in a race of color accuracy.
