We have built PocketVO, a simple web-based tool for viewing images and data using the Virtual Observatory. PocketVO is designed to be an easy-to-use tool for viewing astronomy data at many wavelengths. It allows users to enter an object name or coordinates, and displays data from sky surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the ROSAT All-Sky Survey, and VLA FIRST. The tool builds an image mosaic, on the fly, for one, two, or three surveys in separate panels, allowing users to directly compare images at different wavelengths. PocketVO can be used for many purposes in astronomy research and education. The tool is freely available at www.pocketvo.org.
