If you're an iPhone or iTouch user and are also a space and/or astronomy geek (or now of one), NASA just released it's own iPhone/iTouch app. It's available for free.
The NASA App collects, customizes and delivers an extensive selection of dynamically updated information, images and videos from various online NASA sources. Users can access NASA countdown clocks, the NASA Image of the Day, Astronomy Image of the Day, online videos, NASA's many Twitter feeds and other information in a convenient mobile package. It delivers NASA content in a clear and intuitive way by making full use of the iPhone and iPod touch features, including the Multi-Touch user interface. The New Media Team at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., developed the application.
The NASA App also allows users to track the current positions of the International Space Station and other spacecraft currently orbiting Earth in three views: a map with borders and labels, visible satellite imagery, or satellite overlaid with country borders and labels.
This page has some screen shots from the app. One thing that Version 1.0 is missing and we would love to see is a live feed from NASA TV*. Hopefully, it will be coming in future releases.
