RIM unveils its BBX operating system
CANADIAN PHONE MAKER Research in Motion (RIM) has announced its next operating system (OS), BBX, which will run on Blackberrys from next year.
The firm's Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis announced the OS at a conference of Blackberry applications developers in San Francisco.
According to the Wall Street Journal, RIM said BBX will combine the best of QNX with the best features of its existing BlackBerry operating system. The firm's Playbook tablet runs QNX.
RIM will also release a beta version of its PlayBook OS 2.0, which includes developer support for designing applications that run on Google's Android operating system available to its developers.
According to Reuters, Mike Lazaridis said, "We're giving developers the tools they need to build richer applications, and we're providing direction on how to best develop their smartphone and tablet apps as the BlackBerry and QNX platforms converge into our next generation BBX platform." µ

Yet another fragmented, non standand product that no one will bother developing for.
This has fail written all over it. Just like Linux desktops...
Microsoft are going to own the corporate messaging market going forwards with the Windows phone. There is no need to pay extra to use Blackberry's network and to have a Blackberry Enterprise server on your site. Exchange does it all natively.
Microsoft are goign to own this primarily becuase corporates care about security and the other alternates of Android and IOS are as secure as Swiss Cheese.
