>RIM owns QNX which has been working in embedded communication devices for years. RIM just bought QNX. Blackberry OS has nothing to do with QNX, though purportedly their Black Pad (once you go black...) will. Note that QNX is known to be solid as hell, but also quite slow -- it by design forces message and context switches for virtually every bit of intra-system communications, buying tremendous stability and security at the cost of performance. Put Neutrino on an ARM chip and you could probably divide the performance by three. Having said that, ultimately Dalvik is like J2ME, only without the crippling stupidity of Sun's mobile efforts destroying it. There is no reason -- if the cooperation can be achieved -- that a RIM phone, on Blackberry OS or QNX or anything else -- can't run Dalvik (aka Android) apps. If they provide the right API wrapper, and assure the OHA that they'll make a good implementation, there is nothing technically stopping it.
