CrackBerry member Maxxberry shared in the forums an awesome website for showing off the BlackBerry PlayBook's browser.

From the Forums: New group aims to put a BlackBerry PlayBook powered rover on the moon
Back in June we posted about the Google Lunar X Challenge, The Part-Time Scientists, and a QNX powered moon rover.
