Does it work on the I-Pod?

QuiltFab and QuiltRef work on the iPod touch (which is similar to the iPhone, but without the phone part), but not any of the other iPods -- there's no way to download apps onto the others.

I have the I-Pod touch. Thanks for the information.

Sorry, but a pencil eraser doesn't work. These devices use a "capacitive material", which means it monitors changes in electrical current. Some people even have skin that is too dry to make it work very well! But you can buy an iPhone stylus, or make one with half a snap fastener, some dental floss, and an old metal ballpoint pen! If you'd like to try making one, here is a video:

Tip: be sure it's a metal pen and a medium size snap -- these techie guys don't understand snaps!

I have the Verizon Droid, and am still learning how to use it, but I can't find those applications anywhere. Can anyone help me with that?

Sorry, but each type of device (or manufacturer) have their own "store" and set of apps. The apps mentioned earlier are only on Apple devices. I'm not aware of any quilting apps on the Droid (it's still pretty new). But my sister, who's an avid quilter, has one, and I'll ask her when she comes back from her retreat week-end. She uses the Droid as a cellphone, and the iPod touch for other things -- like quilting apps! (She also has a lot of other toys like a Kindle, an embroidery machine, and a long-arm quilting machine!)

I would love love love a simple quilt design app!

That's an interesting idea! These quilting apps don't handle your quilting library, but it set me wondering about that. I use librarything on the web to keep track of my roughly 200 quilting books.

It's a really nifty setup. And since you can surf the web from the iphone or the iPod touch (or the Verizon Droid), that would work, but it isn't really set up for the small screen size. I'll ask my sister, the librarian and iPod touch (and Droid) user -- and quilter -- what she would recommend. There must be an app for that!

I don't have an iPhone or iPod but if I ever do, I'm getting those quilt apps.... amazing!

I'm really a slow learner of technology, but when I'm reeeeealy interested and have a patient teacher, I can eventually get the basics. My immediate goal is how to deal with photos from camera-computer-sharing with people. By the time I can get and learn the iPhone, there'll be something newer and more complicated. I can't keep up!

I have an iPhone. It is so easy to take a picture and email it to someone right on the spot. No having to deal with downloading pictures, putting them somewhere on your PC, naming them (if you do that), then remembering to email them to someone. I love my iPhone for picture sharing! I downloaded the QuiltFab app a while ago but have not used it yet. So glad that an iPhone quilt app developer is a member here!
