The barometric function may be very useful for outdoor astro sessions.

There is a Sun Surveyor which look like Sun Seeker for S$8.49, Lite version which only show the sun position and path on a 3D compass is free. Also a Urban Sunshine Maps tell the hourly position of the sun on the map with shadow and sunrise and set timing for free

Guess you can search "Sun" in Android market to find out the other apps.

Can check out "Celeste" in the android market. There is a free version to try out. Other than Sun, you can use the augmented reality mode for Moon and other planets.
