Hi
There seem to be many free/low cost PocketPC Planetarium software offerings out there, and I was wondering about your first hand experience with them. What do you like/dislike about them, how they compare to others, etc ...
The ones I've been looking at so far are:
1. Astromist
2. Pocket StarCalc
3. Pocket Stars
All three look pretty slick and sharp.
In addition, I just read in another thread here, that there's a new mobile version of Stellarium.
Thanks

I also just now saw another free alternative - Tachyon -
looks very feature rich.
Anyone ever tried this one?
