Blackberry has few years of profitability at their disposal. Consider the Indian market. Blackberry is spreading here almost like a wildfire. The reason is that it is an incredible smartphone at very affordable price. iPhone is almost thrice costlier than BB and the data plans double the cost of BB data plans.
In my opinion QNX holds key to BB's future. I had opportunity to work with QNX and I know it as a very powerful operating system that can run metro rails and nuclear reactors. I feel BB should relax and take their time to build the next OS based on QNX.
- jammur 15y agoI think that pegging RIM's future to QNX is a mistake. There is no single technology that will return RIM to it's former status. iOS isn't the reason Apple is succeeding, it's simply one piece of the puzzle. I keep hearing the same thing you wrote, that QNX runs nuclear reactors so it must inherently be good as a smartphone OS. I fail to see the connection between the two.
