For freeware, I highly recommend Taiyoukei, an ephemeris program that is just
loaded with features - http://www.alfcen.com/pocket/taiyo.htm (just one source;
try Googling for others).

For commercial software, you can't beat TheSky Pocket Edition, from Software
Bisque - http://www.bisque.com.

I use both on my Axim.
