QNX Will Eventually Replace The BlackBerry OS

During RIM's Developer Conference, RIM has introduced to the world the BlackBerry PlayBook, BlackBerry's Tablet challenger. Aside from that announcement RIM, have said that the tablet will not run on BlackBerry OS but rather will run on QNX Tablet OS.

"A RIM VP has confirmed that the new OS will power BlackBerry smartphones in the future as well as tablets. RIM seem to have fallen in love with the QNX stability, low power consumption and rich multimedia capabilities."

This will not be an over-the-night switch from BlackBerry OS to the QNX based OS. RIM, will have to do that slowly.

"So it may take a couple of years, or even more, but RIM seem quite sure that QNX is a better solution for them in the long run. What remains to be seen is how developers and corporate customers will react to the slow transition that RIM will have in place."
