I've been admiring Veronica Hill's travel app "California Essential," a fine example of just what a travel app can aspire to. Veronica is one of my fellow authors at Sutro Media, and she is indeed setting a new standard for us all. Where most of us provide links to videos produced by others, she has gone the whole nine yards and produced some of her own. CLICK HERE for her introductory video, which is especially good.

So, if you're California bound AND have an iPad, iPhone, or iPodTouch, do yourself a favor and check out her page on Apple's iTunes store.
