QNX shows off its versatility, powers OnStar accessories as well as floundering tablets

QNX shows off its versatility, powers OnStar accessories as well as floundering tablets

Back in April of 2010, RIM snatched up a little known property called QNX, which primarily powered in-car infotainment systems. As we all know, that little OS eventually became the platform on which the PlayBook was built - but QNX hasn't left the dashboard behind completely. Turns out the software inside OnStar's FMV, which went on sale in July, is actually QNX's Neutrino RTOS. Why are we only finding out about it now. Who knows, but maybe there's some sweet BlackBerry and OnStar integration coming once RIM puts QNX in phones.
