Also, yesterday the homie Seitu showed me a pretty cool app for Filmmakers.  Movie Slate. A handy feature is that you can use it to import Final Cut XML.

Movie Slate is a digital slate, clapper board, shot log, and shot notepad— designed for use with film, television, documentaries, interviews, and home movies.

For the price, they seem like a steal.  I am curious to see if anybody else tried them out, and how they are working for you.
