Pocket Stars
http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&platformId=2&productType=2&catalog=0&sectionId=0&productId=22483
If star-gazing is something you like to do, this application looks like a dream come true - I can't even begin to list all the features it has! The screen shot shows a lot of what it can do, but go check out the Handango listing for all the info.
"Pocket Stars is an integrated, real-time star finder, ephemeris, and celestial navigation tool for the Pocket PC. Pocket Stars is a portable guide to the heavens for casual stargazers, astronomers, and celestial navigators alike."
You can download a trial version of purchase the full version for $14.95 (affiliate link above).

Check this out, too
Anyone interested in astronomy should also take a look at Taiyokei, found at http://www.alfcen.com/pocket/taiyokei.htm
This program provides a wonderful graphical tool to discover just about anything you can imagine about solar system objects. And it's free. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Dang! Why can't something like this be available for MIPS? Is my Casio going to be obsolete?

I like Pocket Sky, myself. Very comprehensive program and database and it will control motorized telescopes, too. They just recently added TPoint support which aids in the accuracy of aiming your telescope toward celestial objects, when using your Pocket PC to operate your telescope. Very 8)

You can find the MIPS version of Pocket Stars at:
https://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...Id=0&catalog=1
Also visit:
http://www.nomadelectronics.com/
to get a sampling of what Pocket Stars can do, including a complete video tour.
I use Pocket Stars on my EM-500 and find it to be an excellent program.
Both Pocket Universe and TheSky, mentioned by others, are also available in MIPS versions.
