I'm wondering what you guys would suggest for apps in relation to videography and photography. There seem to be a plethora of digital clapperboards, white balance cards, digital editable release forms, teleprompters, etc. Very cool stuff. Lets compile a list!

I've been researching some of these, about to go iPhone...

some contenders that will likely work on both:

GrayCard (simulates white/warm/cool/antigreen balance)
Lightsource (makes iProduct a mini light panel)
Sun Seeker (shows path/position of sun and moon in sky at certain times of the day - excellent for outdoor location scouting)
Square (w/ dongle, accept credit card payments on site)
pCam (calc for figuring out things photographimicallywise)
Director's Viewfinder (as it sounds)
Movie Slate/FilmSlate/iSlate (clapper/logger)
EverNote (take notes, share them in the "cloud" and with your home computer easily, including searching text in pictures)
any good PDF reader - keep equipment manuals onhand at all times
Vimeo
Universal Remote (as it sounds)

I don't have an iPad but I've used Sun Seeker and Movie Slate on other's tablets and they are great programs.

When iMovie was released, it only worked with video shot on the iPad itself. Because of this I ended up experimenting with most of the available video editing apps. The current version of iMovie will work with video from several of my cameras, including 720p video from my Nikon D5100. Since then, iMovie has become my favorite of the video editing apps.
