Historical time frame of countries

Is there an app or software program that offers a historical map of the earth?
With a timeline slide that would shift about to show how countries evolved (name changes etc.) over the centuries?

Don't know about iPod stuff but the David Rumsey site sure looks full of goodies!
From the looks of it, i'll have to brush up on some Latin...
