I have been using Stellarmetrics Pocket Universe for some time, and I think it is a very good program,

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)

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.
