Lightwright Touch Winner Announced
Yesterday I ran a contest for a lucky reader of iSquint to win a copy of Lightwright Touch for the iPad. I have been playing with the app since I got it and boy do I love it! I wanted to share the love and bring happiness to one reader. While I would love to give everyone a copy, I just cannot do, sorry guys!
Is $50 dollars to much to ask for to purchase the app, that is something you have to decide. If you ask me, I will tell you my standard response. Is $50 dollars for a tool that could save you money with time and energy while designing and cueing a show? You have to decide. I personally can see a savings and better work flow. But the questions is, can you?
And now, the winner of the Lightwright Touch iPad App Contest is…

Lightwright Touch iPad App Released in iTunes App Store
Yes, the day has come. When the iPad was announced over a year ago, people went ecstatic. Then came the dreamers, what can we do with the iPad, how can it make our lives easier? In the lighting industry, it was easy, put Lightwright onto the iPad. It took almost a year since the iPad was released into the wild, but that dream has become a reality. At LDI 2010, we got our first look at Lightwright on the iPad, four months later, I am giddy as a school girl updating my patch and focus notes on my iPad, in Lightwright!
West Side Systems, the app developer that has brought us such wonderful apps like BeamCalc, Power Saver and more has just released their latest iPad app into the iTunes App Store, Lightwright Touch.

Give The Gift of Lightwright Touch This Holiday Season
When you read that headline, did you get overly excited? I did too! You may have heard this before, like around LDI that West Side Systems, an iOS developer, has been working with John McKernon, the developer of Lightwright, to create Lightwright Touch for the iPad!
This is where you get super jazzed up…
Lightwright Touch is a companion app to Lightwright 5, and enables viewing and editing of your Lightwright worksheet on a mobile device. With your lighting data literally at your fingertips, you’ll glide through your paperwork using the Lightwright functions you know in the iPad interface you love.
How awesome right? Well, why not give your favorite lighting design/tech the gift of Lightwright Touch this holiday season? Bad news, Lightwright Touch will not be released in time…WAIT, don’t leave yet!!!
As of right now, there is an introductory price of $49.99 USD if you pre-order right now, you pay $39.99. That is a $10 USD savings over the price of the app when it hits the iTunes App Store. Lightwright Touch is expecting to hit the App store early 2011. Might be January 1, might be January 31 or even later, no one knows but West Side Systems. I do have a hint though…. Keep an eye out for an update to Lightwright 5. The release of Lightwright Touch should follow that pretty quick.
If you are giving Lightwright Touch as a gift this holiday season, West Side Systems has a present that you can give your giftee, a hi-res, 8×10 screenshot of Lightwright Touch in action. All you have to do is download it, print it and wrap it up. You LD/techie will love it!
