Here’s a demo video for Star Walk, the astronomy app for iPhone and iPod I posted on yesterday. The more I look at this app, and the more glowing comments it gets from both reviews on iTunes and CoM readers, the more I wish I’d paid a little better attention in my college astronomy class.
Thanks to reader Cliff for sending it in!

I probably shouldn’t be saying this on a Mac site, but reputation be damned: I’m quite interested to see Windows 7. Let me explain why. (Hang on while I put on my flame-proof jacket. There.)

He never *once* crowed about the iPhone’s app graphical capabilities sayin’ stuff like,
“Oh the iPhone’s *way* better than the NintendoDS as far as display goes ….”
