RIM during the General Session Keynot at the BlackBerry DevCon Americas 2011 announced BBX. BBX is basically the platform that will finally merge or combine PlayBook's QNX OS and the BlackBerry OS. If you are wondering what devices will be using the said platform and when will RIM launch at least one, then keep wondering because they did not mention when that will actually happen. This move from RIM is also what Google is doing with the launching of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich which will be later at 10AM HKT.
BBX is coming with a new UI called Cascades which supports advanced graphics and a lot of new things. Cascades is scheduled to be available on Beta "later this fall".
"Development environments supported by the BBX platform include HTML5 with BlackBerry® WebWorks™, Adobe® AIR®, Native C/C++, and the BlackBerry® Runtime for Android™ Apps. Apps built today for the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet will also run on BBX.
Additionally, BBX will include the new BlackBerry Cascades UI Framework for advanced graphics, also demonstrated during the General Session Keynote. BBX will also extend the core BlackBerry DNA of collaboration, communication and immediacy, with familiar “Super App” capabilities such as deep integration between apps, always-on Push services, BlackBerry security, the BBM™ Social Platform and much, much more."
