We were in the Apple store the other day (the fairly new shiny one in Reading’s Oracle shopping centre, which seems to have the mystical property of being perpetually busy irrespective of whether the rest of the town is rammed or completely quiet) swapping out a busted iPad power brick – they kindly gave me a new one from their spares for free, after I convinced them I am capable of debugging electrical issues and they verified it was busted – when I decided to buy one of the new iPod Nanos.

I could claim this was an impulse decision, but that wouldn’t be entirely accurate – I’d been tempted by one of the Nanos since it was first released, but thought the software could be improved with more functionality. On 4th October Apple did just that, releasing a software update for the Nanos as well as a price drop (although the hardware was not updated), which was just about enough to tip me over the edge and grab a couple (only one for me!).

NASA recently announced that it has made available a free iPhone application for users to download. Not one to pass up on the latest hot app or on the latest space information, I had to give it a go.
