There has been so much frenzy around Apple iPhone and the application store envisaged by Apple certainly added more punch to the iPhone as a dream phone. No doubt that Cocoa developers latched on to it and created iPhone ready applications in no time. The iPhone App Store might have become the cause of envy for other mobile phone manufacturers but we would like to stick to the applications which have made life little easy for the web developers and designers.
WhatTheFont
Has it ever happenned to you that you saw some font on the go in some restaurant or on some billboard that you don’t know? You’d think about it for some time in such situations and leave the fancy of using that font after you failed to recognize it. WhatTheFont helps you precisely in such situations. If you have this application installed on your iPhone then you can click a picture of the font you want to know about and it will retreive the details of the same from the MyFonts’ WhatTheFont identification service.

Cliqcliq Colors
Cliqcliq colors is another color based application for iPhone to discover and manage colors. This application is particulalrly useful for designer and developer who deals in CSS, HTML, Flash, Flex and other media technologies. Just like Palettes it can also pull out any sized palettes from saved photographs and images.
# intelligent color palette generation
# full screen color preview
# save captured photos to library
# multi select allows for color adjustment
The applications are nice.
I’m hardly amazed at all that Steve Jobs and his beast of a product company have already raised ten billion applications for the iOS market and when 2012 rolls around the iPhone application buyer amounts will very well reach the 1 trillion place. Rough calculations view that stock in AAPL will increase to roughly $550 per share by then, crazy!
