Yes they are the same device. I have used skyfi for 2 or 3 years now on two scopes. Both are home made but run in LX200 compatible mode (a Bartels dob and then a siderial technology system)
I found skyfi very reliable and a lot of fun. I use it with my ipad and my iphone running sky safari.
I would recommend you get and use an external power supply. I think the unit is sold with one now. I find it drains the internal batteries quickly. Sometimes you have to turn off the setting that automatically updates the location. Otherwise it takes a long time to connect after the phone or pad screen turns off.
There is a good yahoo group for southern stars. The developers are very responsive to questions. I had a problem with mine once and they replaced it immediately. No issues since.
Hope that helps.
Rod.
