I have an iPod Touch, and downloaded the StarMap software.
Have not really had a great play with it, but the refresh rate is slow. And the zooming in doesn't seem to work very well with the "reverse pinch" unless you really stop and wait for everything to stop moving.

Everything about it feels sluggish compared to the normal iPod UI experience. BUT, it's neat, and you can't complain for $15. It has lots of promise. It kind of has the "Stellarium" feel to it.

Hopefully development will continue nicely.

EDIT: Just went to have a look at iAstronomica in the AppStore. The StarMap software is much better for the extra $3 (without having looked at the it beyond the screen shots)
