RIMM TABLET POWERED BY QNX ; the same os that powers Porche QNX cars
Performance-proven in millions of mission-critical systems, the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS brings a potent mix of speed, reliability, and flexibility to the new BlackBerry® Tablet OS from RIM.
The QNX Neutrino RTOS is known the world over for the ultimate in performance and reliability. Proven in everything from the space station and the world’s highest capacity router to millions of in-car systems, it brings capabilities to the mobile market that are absolutely unique. Space-grade reliability
From day one, the QNX Neutrino RTOS was designed for bullet-proof operation. Its microkernel architecture protects every application, driver, file system, and protocol stack in the safety of memory-protected user space. As a result, multiple third-party applications can run simultaneously on the RTOS without corrupting one another or the RTOS itself. Better yet, applications and services can be updated dynamically for nonstop service. True multi-tasking for multi-core
QNX Neutrino is a multi-threaded RTOS optimized for the latest multi-core processors. Its field-proven implementation of symmetric multi-processing (SMP) allows multiple applications to run in parallel while extracting the maximum performance from every processing core. Standards-based for portability
QNX Software Systems is a champion of
industry standards
, including Flash, POSIX and OpenGL ES. In fact, the QNX Neutrino RTOS is POSIX-certified, not just POSIX-like, allowing application developers to leverage an immense pool of open source applications and code.
From Admin to ZEN: Thanks for sharing insights. But please, no successive multiple posts which result in the thread overwhelming the listings on the homepage. Especially not on a foreign-listed stock -- as it has relatively few investors in SG -- and copy-&-paste material from elsewhere. Appreciate your understanding going forward!

While still unknown to many, QNX has been punching above its weight class for decades.
The 31-year-old company, which was co-founded by Dodge and Gordon Bell, is a serious force in the global software industry. Operating systems designed by an Ottawa workforce that now numbers 300 run electrical grids across North America, power credit-card transactions globally, guide laser-eye surgery machines and run the computer and entertainment systems in a vast majority of the worldâs automobiles

QNX software âsimply doesnât crash,â said the Fortune piece, adding: âThe only way to make this software malfunction is to fire a bullet into the computer running it.â
RIM hopes for that kind of reaction when it releases PlayBook OS 2.0, made by QNX, next month, and again when its new BlackBerry devices running QNXâs operating system are released later this year.
appreciate your advice . But just thought a true investor shouldn't restrict themselves solely to a relatively small sg market . they should cast their nets wide especially to the No 1 financial market in the world which is in America . Where stocks can soar and be price at a few hundred dollars per share which can never be found in sg market .
the nomination of financier Timothy Dattels to the board could indicate RIM is more seriously considering going private, or mulling a leveraged buyout for the company.
Dattels, a senior partner at private equity firm TPG Capital LP, previously served as Goldman Sachs' head of investment banking for Asia excluding Japan.
He replaces Antonio Viana-Baptista, a former
Telefonica
SA executive who had been a RIM director since September 2009. RIM said Viana-Baptista opted out so he could spend more time in his role as CEO of Credit Suisse in Iberia.
RIM is proposing the re-election of the remainder of its board at an annual meeting on July 10. It said it would look to add one or more new board members in the current fiscal year.
