I bought an iPad for my lovely wife and she loves it (so do the kids).
One of the first apps I put on there just to try it out was Starmap HD for $1.19.
Great little app, even the kids enjoy mucking around with it.
Shows you around the night sky, can help you find objects and has a fair bit of info on the objects.
