Hello William, I'll second the motion for the Peterson tuner; I believe Peterson purchased the rights for the "strobo-tuner" some years ago, and now makes an electronic/virtual version [rather than the actual spinning discs] which is very accurate and has free lifetime software upgrades.
I have the Peterson Virtual Strobe-Audio-Metronome version, and while it's a bit larger than the fit-in-the-case tuners, it's great. I wasn't aware that Peterson was offering the tuning program for an iPhone/iPod-- which would be much smaller. You can purchase a small, after-market plug-in mike for an iPod/iPhone [~$75.00-- about the size of a push-pin] which then makes your iPod/iPhone a handy tuner with Peterson software.
