FYI, your iTunes link points to Star Walk, not Solar Walk.

I own both Solar Walk and Grand Tour. They are both nifty, but iPad users should only consider Solar Walk since it's a universal HVGA/XGA app (while Grand Tour is HVGA only).

I also own Distant Suns and Star Walk on the iPhone. Neither is a universal app and since Distant Suns is far better on the iPhone, I only bothered buying it for the iPad.

For laptops and desktops, be sure to check out Celestia (which is amazing and free).
