The can be a very useful tool for an architect, as it allows you to check drawings and even do sketches on site. But today i found this  new application for the OS v2.0: A-Level, an electronic version of the good ol’  bubble level. I have to recognize that it’s a clever use of the ’s accelerometer. You can get it at the iTunes App Store for 99 cents. To download follow this link (it will open iTunes).

Seen on Wired Gadget Lab.
