Looks like all the planispheres are similar as far as the compressed north view and distortion is concerned.
I have stellarium and Xephem installed on my laptop, but I can't usually be bothered getting it up and running outside + even when it has a black screen the backlight is still on and brighter than I would like. Most importantly, you can't comfortably wander around the backyard looking up at the sky holding a laptop at a funny angle!
A PDA is still bright and much smaller image....
Thanks for the ideas though.
