Section: iPhone / iPod touch / iPad , iDevice Apps , Originals This week is brought to you by iTunes Preview. This means that every time you click one of the links on my list, instead of a useless blank page kicking you to iTunes, you’ll first get a snapshot of the app’s page on the App Store right in your browser. A useful feature for sure. Now you can browse these apps at work. Don’t worry, I won’t tell. Directionary – Homesick? This app will remind you which direction your favorite places on the planet are (provided you have an iDevice with a compass ie. iPhone 3GS). It also displays how far away those destinations are in meters, which is about as useful as a distance measured in Cheerios. I just love the simple design of this app. Very nice. GetColorsAR – This app allows you to extract color information from the real world! You could just take a picture and then copy the color by hand, but why!? Just tap something on the screen of your iPhone and the app will give you a color code to the color you’ve tapped
