I ran across this app last night and used it on the gig. It's 900 tunes in an Android or iPhone app (chord changes only). You can transpose the changes to any key. It's pretty amazing having all these tunes in your pocket. It was great on the gig. Just stick your phone on the music stand. No light needed.

Best $7 bucks I ever spent.
 
I've been messing around with this app on my itouch. Its not just for jazzers. If you use the forums, you can find tons of user-submitted folk, bluegrass, and rock tunes along with tons of additional jazz standards. The backlighting and transposition really make it a useful gig tool. Worth the money for sure.
