The iPod Touch does. You can install astronomy applications on it.

The iPod touch has everything of iPhone does except GPS and Compass so there hundreds of apps that are of use, from setup items like a clinometer to dedicated astro apps.

Hi Gerald,

You can even run a telescope from an iPod. See the attached link for an article on Southern Stars Sky-Fi:

Hi Gerald

Do yourself a great favour and look through the forum "Mobile Astronomy Apps": http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/f...splay.php?f=48

There is a plethora of applications available for the iPod that are useful in some way for astronomical pursuits.
