We mentioned Stellarium last month as an awesome PlayBook app that packs the solar system in your tablet. The app is a port of the very popular open source Stellarium project and is being continually updated by the Stellarium Group for the PlayBook. Since we mentioned it the app has gone through a few updates with the latest adding support for pinch to zoom and direct time change through a dialog.

  • GPS and magnetometer(compass) support for automatic location detection and point-and-view functionality
