sky maps for android?

[SkySearcher]

Hi all
Does anyone know of a stellarrium type app for android? It would be so much easier to use my tablet outside than the cumbersome laptop.

Cheers

Thanks warren.
I have the Google program but I can't workout how to stop the map from moving when I move the device around! If I can stop it I might be able to use it.

Hi Dan,

Take a look at Star Chart for $2.99. The reviews are positive (5 stars) and screen shots are gorgeous....

3 bucks aint bad.

If you can hang out for a few weeks, Southern Stars are planning to release Sky Safari for Android (http://www.southernstars.com/products/skysafari_android/index.html) by the end of the year.

I need an iPad2. My iPhone4 doesn't have enough screen space to do the iOS version justice.

Wow, that's impressive. Now all I need is a goto scope!
I dare say I will be donloading this when its released.
