Ditto this recommendation.  PocketSat+ is a very usable, compact, yet full featured satellite tracking package.  And the Palm is something you can always have with you.

I recently graduated from my Palm-Vx to a Nokia N810, and found the Garnet Virtual Machine, which builds a Palm inside my Nokia.  So, I'm still a happy PocketSat+ user (and now it's in color!).
