1.Do you use "Starmap Pro" or something similar?
2.Are you able to read az/alt settings for a given object and if so is it updated in realtime.
3. Do you think the screen effects your dark adaption as does a laptop?

Sorry to be almost no help at all but I bought my iPod Touch as a replacement PDA. I did not buy it for astronomy.
I have several times set in
World Clock. Melbourne (local time), London (for GMT), Houston (central time USA), New York (eastern time USA), and a couple of other times not related to NASA.
I also have the
NASA app but that's it when it comes to astronomy.
Having said that, I have 3 full pages of apps.

You can adjust the brightness in settings. I do get dazzled by the screen when I check the weather when I'm in bed.
I've only had Wi-Fi at home for the last month. Before that, I used the free Wi-Fi at Maccas or an open Wi-Fi connection up the street.
Sorry I couldn't help you more.
