Default Google Sky gazes at mobile maps

Google, in its ongoing quest to provide ubiquitous access to
information people never knew they needed, is to launch sky maps for
mobile phones under the name "Star Droid".

We've all been in the situation of walking along and suddenly noticing
an obscure stellar body, only to suffer an unrequited longing to know
its identity. Google Sky will show you what you saw, but Star Droid
will, according to Times Online, identify it too.
