That's woefully incorrect on many fronts.
Palm users are plentiful, and Jim is still supporting us. PocketSat+ is still the best Palm-platform satellite tracking software available, IMHO. Support still at ...
But Jim has not let his programming skills stagnate. We now have PocketSat3 for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch devices. It provides gorgeous screen graphics for our passes. Available in the Apple Store. Docs and support at Jim's new site at ...
It works marvelously on my new 32GB iPod touch. AMSAT's keps are one of the four default sets for painless download. Recently added is a "View Constellation" mode - which overlays your view of the heavens on a sat pass.
There are several "satellite trackers" in the Apple Store ... from free to $.099 to a few bucks. I have tried five others. NONE of them come close to the feature set, ease of use, and product support that one receives with PocketSat3.

I am probably the one you are talking about. There appears to be a misunderstanding. What I was trying to say was that with the palm having been end of lifed by the Palm folks in terms of the PalmOS that other solutions would have to be sought. Since I seem to be one of the few that doesnt have an iPhone, I hadnt had the reason to look for that type of solution and had moved to a netbook as the next best option that I was able to find.

Don't know if anyone will port the app over to the new palm os , but the Palm Pre for example can run most of the older palm/os apps via an emulator

Thanks for letting me know about that. From what I had seen of the Pre, I had the understanding that the Pre wasnt able to run the older apps.

PocketSat+ also runs very nicely in the Garnet Virtual Machine on my Nokia N810 (better, actually, than on my Palm!). My only concern is the longevity of the Garnet VM; it's supposed to "expire" in a couple of weeks, and their website has no update posted. (Not to steal the thread, but anyone know what they're up to?)
Great satellite program for the one-handed-computing format.

Unfortunately the $1.99 version is only good for 40 fixed satellites none of which are of any use to ham radio operators (other than the ISS). You need to buy the full version to have access to your choice of satellites, and that version is more costly, about $24.00 or so.

As I posted sometime back, I have been using free Satellite Tracker on my iphone. I cannot imagine any tracking program could be easier to use. The graphics are rather crude compared to ProSat but it is extremely simple to use, updates easily and shows information for subsequent passes of any ham sat. This program is extremely convenient when I choose to leave the comfort of my TS2000 and yagis, and go handheld QRP with the D7 and Elk. Just my $.02
