Absolute Pitch 1.33 (Shareware, $15)

An easy-to-use musical ear trainer that uses a unique method to teach you absolute or perfect pitch, which is the ability to name any note played, without the aid of the reference note required by musicians with only relative pitch. The software works by presenting notes in an atonal, rather than tonal, context to reduce the possibility of using relative pitch. You learn a particular note by listening to a random sequence that includes the note. Whenever the note is played, your aural recognition is reinforced by visual stimuli that serve to connect the sound of the note with its name and position on the piano keyboard. When you are confident that you know the note well enough, you can proceed to take a test.
