For directing, my main piece of hardware is a 2013 13" MacBook Air.
I use an iPad Mini to read scripts, sometimes although I could never get on the iPad-as-creation-tool bandwagon.
I use an iPhone 5s mainly to take frequent Scrabble breaks.
Communication
Productivity
Anything that requires collaboration, I do in Google Docs.
I'm a big fan of the GTD theory of task management and, to that end, I use Things which I love and which syncs to my iPad and iPhone.
I keep flirting with the idea of OmniFocus but I'm worried that it might be overkill.
Notes
But I also use Evernote for collecting my thoughts and storing inspiration.
And I use JustNotes for quick, ephemeral writing.
Design
Media
Adobe Premiere seems interesting but since it lacks the collaboration tools built into the Avid that are essential to the workflow on a studio feature, it's a non-starter for me.
