The BIALL blog has a review of the latest apps for lawyers / law students (and academics I suppose?) for the iPhone.

Anyone who has an iPhone (I wish!) might be interested in having a look at the following website http://www.ilegalapps.com/index.html described as the "law in your pocket" this app has been developed by a law student and is available for downloading from the iTunes app store.
The
app offers access to nearly 5000 items of legislation and a fast and
easy to use interface* This is an interesting development both for law
librarians and fee-earners working in a Law firm.
If I was a fee-earner I'd love to be able to access 5000 items of legislation whilst on the go, but from a law librarians perspective there have to be some concerns, like how accurate the information is, what the source is they're using for the information and the potential impact on the work law libraries do.
It will be interesting to see how well used this app is.
Update - For anyone who is currently using the app, or thinking about using the app you should probably review a post on the Nearly Legal blog, which looks in more detail at the app.
