Even if you're not an iPhone owner, you've most likely heard, "Is there an App for that?" I've resisted going over to the "dark side", but I have to admit, my daughter's iPhone is a pretty cool little gadget...and I LOVE gadgets.
For musicians, there are many apps available for having fun with their iPhone. One company has several that I find very interesting because they have options from games to serious theory:
Almond: Music terminology with over 1,400 listings & 200 illustrations
ChordLab: Multi-tool for musicians, chord spelling, circle of fifths
EarMan: Intervallic ear trainer, built-in curriculum, automatic grading
ScaleMaster: Intuitive scales reference over 100 scale types, 4 clefs
BandMaster: The band in your pocket - bass, drums & piano
Mozart: Learn to read music in a game with six virtual instruments
