Southern California Reptiles and Amphibians - an inexpensive electronic field guide app to the southern half of the state, which contains one of the most diverse assemblages of herps in the country - is now available for Android, the iPhone and iPod touch. It can also run on the iPad. You don't need to be connected to the internet to use it, but you can take advantage of extra features if you have internet connectivity.
