Is APOD for the iPod.
Seriously. A neat little web accessible archive of the public subset of the APOD archive, continuosly updated, bundled for a quick iPod upload.

OH! GET! OUT! Totally the coolest thing that I have seen in a long time.
I think at the end there you can see the full outline of south america. Absolutely awesome. What a neat little solar system we have! (Take that, Proxima Centauri!)
