Gluten Free Works Gluten Free Resources News and Tips
The Summer 2010 issue of Delight Gluten-Free magazine featured an amazing article entitled Digital Delights. I am a huge lover of Apple computers and iPods, but still pro-Blackberry. It’s apps like these that make me think about switching. The following information was taken directly from the article.

The gluten free restaurant cards app (under Best for International Travel) is actually not that great. Most of the images are illegible. I pulled up the Mandarin Chinese card and I can’t even make out the characters; the Japanese is just as bad. Those are the two that I need the most. I wish it were a little better quality; even if it’s free it should at least still be useful.
I love the Whole Foods app, though, especially for the shopping list feature.
