			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve seen people trying hard to get that exact color they imagined for their interior, the one they&#8217;ve seen on their best friend&#8217;s living room wall, and it&#8217;s always a killer to try to match someone&#8217;s idea with the reality when you don&#8217;t have the proper tools, or the know how. So, since I am too a iPhone user, and a Mac fan, I will share with you my favorite applications, or on short apps that I think every designer and architect should have on their device.</p>
<h2><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/colorsnap/id316256242?mt=8" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3334" title="screen_shot_1" src="http://archtopia.speedymirror.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/screen_shot_1-167x300.jpg" alt="screen shot 1 167x300 3 Must Have Applications For Interior Designers and Architects" width="167" height="300" /></a>1.</strong> <strong>ColorSnap®</strong></h2>
<p>This application now has more features than ever. It&#8217;s even easier to match  real-world colors with paint colors and bring all your ideas to life.  Get coordinating colors or create custom palettes. Search, browse,  adjust, save and even share. And do it all for <strong>FREE.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And this is what the app can do:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>Capture a color that inspires you and match it to one of 1,500  Sherwin-Williams paint colors. </strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>Create a custom palette or Ask Sherwin-Williams for colors that  complement your color. </strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>Search for specific colors or browse the full Sherwin-Williams  color palette. </strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>Fine tune colors using lightness, saturation and hue features. </strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>Save colors to your “My Saved Colors” library to compare  palettes or share with friends and family via Facebook and email. </strong></span></li>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><br />

Units by TheMacBox</strong></h2>
<p>This app is particularly useful when you need to work with different units.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Units is a really useful app for the iPhone &amp; iPod Touch that  lets you easily convert from various units into lots of others.</span></h2>
<p>Units can convert Area, Currency, Energy, Temperature, Time, Length,  Weight, Speed, Pressure, Power, and Volume. Are we missing anything you  might need to convert?</p>
<p>The developers are opened to suggestions and ideas, so if you want something they don&#8217;t already have, you can drop a line on their <a target="_blank" href="http://themacbox.co.uk/units/" target="_blank">official website</a>!</p>
<p>As an added bonus, Units also has a built in ruler, for doing small,  quick measurements when the need arrises.</p>
<p>Units will be available on the App Store soon, for free!</p>
