I also use iKanji Touch on my iPhone, and I can say.. It is by far some of the best $10 I have ever spent. iKanji Touch is in my opinion the best resource out there be it paper or digital. It teaches stroke order, reading, and meaning in a very well organized way. You memorize the Kanji amazingly fast with it's SRS algorithm. On my first attempt to learn kanji, I took the simple route.. Pick 3 kanji a day and study there meaning, reading, and stroke order.. This was painfully slow and boring and not fool proof by any means.. Then I resorted to Heisig's Method, but I really wasn't happy without learning the reading of the kanji. Then.. Then I found iKanji Touch. wow. What an improvement. I can get 20 kanji down in a mere more/less 3 days. Not only that but the app keeps enforcing your memory of them with it's SRS system.

Sorry if that whole thing sounded like a TV commercial, but heh, it truly is awesome, and if I didn't already have an iPhone I would buy one (or an iTouch) just for this app.
