RE: Go NASA
Hmmmm any idea if it's OS5 compliant...I'd download it now but I left my T|T at home today ;-(
RE: Go NASA
Yes, it runs on a Tungsten T just fine. You will want to read the instructions as the app is not very self-explanatory.
Just being picky...

Ryan: The related image is of a comet, not a meteor. :o)
I didn't see any way for the Sony Trolls to put a spin on this so I figured I would find another angle to troll with.
Sounds like a great tool. Hopefully I'll get to use it. I haven't done scientific meteor watching in some time.
Give me some space!

Here's a good Leonid story and picture:

Ah but meteors come from comets so technically the comet image isn't to far off.
RE: Just being picky...
Not wishing to rub your nose in it in any way ... Quoting from the above link - "The particles from comet Tempel-Tuttle radiate from the constellation Leo and are therefore called the Leonids" The major significance of this particular show is that we are passing through a comet's tail so the image is entirely appropriate.
RE: Link is Fixed
NASA must have changed the URL overnight, I updated it with the correct one. If you'll be stargazing, check this out:

MCOP with Zire

Hmm, too bad if you have a Zire I guess. You can't do the count as the software requires you to tap either the Todo or Notepad buttons...
