Got the new Nokia N8 today which has the symbian3 OS. This phone is a HUGE step up from my last phone and will take some getting use to :(

Question is can anyone recommend some good astro apps that may be of interest?

Something like Stellarium would be a great start as i dont think they do a phone version.

Also looking for any astro/physics/science RSS feeds that people use and like.

Oh did i mention i got a new phone today :):D:D

Was an excellent app if anyone knows the name?

Where's Io is a good one, shows and predicts the positions of jupiters moons in a 72hr peroid. Also Iridium Flares and MySattelites - they pull data from the heavens-above website and can alert you when there are visible passes. Though these are on the android marketplace, they're bound to be available on others..
