It's one thing to know and care, but another thing to pull it off. I dealt with RIM/BB not all that long ago on behalf of an M2M prospect and was thoroughly underwhelmed; the QNX team we dealt with was sharp and fully on-point, but I got the sense that RIM was holding them back. In the end, using BB would have increased our hardware BOM by an order of magnitude (literally, they suggested we buy smartphones and use them as the basis of the hardware), so it made zero sense versus a more traditional route.
It's a shame, really. QNX is a fantastic solution supported by a brilliant team, but one that's hobbled to a hardware vendor with zero vision and even less ability to execute.
