Star Walk Updated: AirPrint, Christmas Edition

Star Walk, the award-winning app by Vito Technology, was updated yesterday to include lots of new features…and a Christmas edition. That’s right folks, you have to find the hidden Santa in the night sky. I’m not kidding:

As you would assume, he is somewhere in the sky. Find out exactly where Santa is right now.

I’m sure he is somewhere, but I thought he was somewhere on Earth. Still, the 5.1 version (both for iPhone and iPad) also comes with AirPrint support to let you print stars and constellations wirelessly. That’s pretty cool, better than Santa support on my opinion. Or maybe I’m wrong and I’ll spend 3 hours tonight trying to find the man in red. New stars have been added to the app’s catalog – we’re talking about exoplanets and big stars with more info about spectral class and distance from Earth. Last, additional satellites info and tons of big fixes.

Star Walk for iPad is available at $4.99 in the App Store. The iPhone version is available at $1.99 here.
