Check the Southwire site for their voltage drop and conduit fill calculators. They are pretty good for field work.
ElectAid & ElectAidIEC are both good iphone apps.
Autocad WS is excellent for viewing DWGs and making quick notes.
I have an app called Measurement Pro. This app allows me to take a picture of a machine and then enter the base measurements or the bolt mounting measurements. You can add notes and equipment information also in a text area that you choose. This can be e-mailed or kept in a folder of equipment types. Very handy for me when I need to send it to another person and they can also see the condition of the equipment at the same time.
Saw a buddy using Trade sync app on his android the other day. He gets updates from PAs back at the office. Doesn't need to call them all the time to find out what's going on with the vendors.
