Research in Motion announces BBX, 'combines the best of BlackBerry and QNX'


And it's real, folks -- RIM has made BBX, its latest mobile platform, official at its DevCon keynote. Dan Dodge, President of QNX, mentioned that the new OS -- designed for smartphones and tablets alike -- is a "single, unified platform for the whole world," incorporating Enterprise, NOC and cloud services. BBX will offer over 100 open source libraries and is certified for POSIX, which should entice more developers to use the new platform. It'll support HTML5 (which "acts as a bridge between old BlackBerry versions and BBX"), NativeSDK and Adobe AIR / Flash, as a few examples.
