Demo Video for Star Walk – Mobile Astronomy App

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!

    Seeing “StarWalk” in action ….

    It is *unspeakably* beautiful ….
    The spheroidal curvature of space ….

    In my opinion, I think this video demonstrates most why there *never* be another Steven Jobs.
    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 ….”

    No.
    He never did.

    And that’s what His chatacter, His showmanship, His cleverness is.
    No one else would probably would.ve did that — and it is precisely *because* of that that He is irreplacable.

    No.
    He never did that.
    He released the iPhone into the wild & let it speak for itself.
