Check out the new iPhone app from Wybron. It's $10 and has a very close approximation of the colors of all the major gel manufacturers, including the spectral curves. You might not order 100 sheets of a single color using it (probably has a big oops potential), but it gets you close and will always be in your pocket.

Plus, it is way cool.

I think it can be had at at the Apple App Store.

Adds a whole new meaning to "I'll just phone in the color order."

Looking forward to the day when I just select how many of each moving light and SourceFour I need and then the phone will generate the shop order, including proper cable lengths and data distribution.

Ha, that looks ridiculous!

You think it's useful over a regular swatchbook? It looks more like a cool novelty than anything (but watch me end up getting it anyway =/ )

I can't hold the swatches up to the light. I want the flip-up translucent touchscreen upgrade.

Then you will be out of a job as soon as someone figures that one out. Now, when ETC/Strand/Flying Pig/GrandMA put out remotes for their consoles on it, I will buy an iPhone the next day. Oh, and lightwright too.

There is a Hog III remote that is based off of the pocket pc. Guy got frusterated about not having an RFU so he made one. I believe you can find it at Flying Pig Systems
