Pocket PC Software

I am considering purchasing some astronomy software for my Pocket PC.

Has anyone had any experience or opinions on "Astromist".

http://www.astromist.com/index.html

I guess I would like to know what is the best Pocket PC software offering similar features

That's a nice piece of software!!. I know TheSky has similar software for Pocket PC's and a few of the other commercial programs can also be had for Pocket PC's, but I'd be more than happy with that one, It looks particularly comprehensive in its functions and abilities.

I have tries the free download of astromist. It runs fine on my Ipac PPC.
I have now looked at "The Sky"(thanks Carl) and Astromist seems to have similar features for a fraction of the cost. As I am new to this game I think I will settle for Astromist.
Thanks for the advice.
