Greetings all. I just downloaded "Satellite Tracker" from the iphone app store
for free. In spite of a number of less than glowing reviews ("it crashes") I
was pleasantly surprised at how good this actually works. Very intuitive and
easy to use with handheld operations or just to pull out and check status of
only the sats one is interested in-including visible sats. Oh, and it never
crashed. Does real time tracking with lots of variables.
Those looking for a free iphone sat tracking app should give it a try.

I encourage people to develop open source applications for this and other
functions. At first it was impossible to do so on iPhone/iPod Touch and not
violate the Apple developer agreement, but they have since revised it.
If you jailbreak and use the open toolchain, you can do whatever you want.
Celestial is slick for playing media files, but you have to use AudioQueue for
sample-level audio synthesis (e.g. Morse, PSK31). Ugh.
Developer access (which you need to develop apps and run them on a real device)
costs money, but it's pretty nominal, and Apple give basic support to anybody
who asks nicely. Be advised that the SDK downloads are huge, and take a while
even over fast connections.
