Grids are definitely applicable to application design and even device design--everything we design at Cooper employs some type of grid system. Mullet & Sano is a good reference. Also, at the risk of seeming self-promoting, there's some discussion of developing a grid for applications in my book, pages 622-628, plus a little hardware example on 576.

I'm quite happy to see a discussion around grid systems on the list: coming from a Graphic Design background, I remember being quite excited when Kevin Mullet's and Darrel Sano's book "Designing Visual Interfaces" first came out (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0133033899?ie=UTF8&tag=d3tidetecu-20&l inkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0133033899). Since then, I haven't seen any good Grid Systems references specific for Interface Design.
