Like many of you I'm sure, Skymap was the first app I downloaded when I got my first android (thanks to one of my friends previously showing off his new android using it!) and it really opened my mind to what the future would hold for smart-phones and sort-of-augmented-reality software in general.
Many an hour has been spent sat outside, usually round a camp fire, with friends locating planets and other points of interest, walking round pointing my phone at the sky looking like a loon to the uninitiated!
I find it very VERY encouraging that this product wasn't just left alone to die a graceful death of old age, but that it will be dissected in front of all, enabling the knowledge and skill imbued in its programming to live on in educating the next generation of programmers. .. I hope it inspires them as much as it inspired me!

Thanks Google!
