> Good point, I would like Google using QNX for their mobile OS, too, because of the Hard Real-Time OS feature. Why? Everything which needs hard-real time in a phone already does that at the firmware level. I fail to see what is that latency sensible in the rest. If what you want is a faster phone, a hard-real time kernel is not going to give you that. Hard real-time just means you have strong garanties on time of execution (either through return or through failure) it does not necessary means these times are short. Java on Android is not slow anyway.
