While QNX was already widely used in industrial environments for its abilities to real-time operating system, after the acquisition by RIM (Blackberry brand owners) QNX is gaining in popularity.

In the mid-2000s QNX began to have some difficulty to maintain popularity. Free software alternatives will begin to remove some of your market. With that in 2007 the company decided to open the kernel source code, so much so with the possibility of community-based development. But the drawing power was low and did not involve great help for QNX.

In April 2010, QNX was bought by RIM , the maker of devices mobile international already had his sights on expanding into new markets telephony. So shortly after the purchase was announced that he forgot the strategy of free software to be used based QNX was already in the automotive market in order to dig with RIM technology. Thus arose agreements with brands such as BMW, improving both RIM's position as the popularity of QNX.

Recently it was known that RIM was working on launching a competitor to the Apple iPad, branded Blackberry. But a few days ago have started strong speculation where QNX software is placed in these tablet devices. New utilities to QNX in which there will surely be a rapprochement with RIM OS, operating system included in the Blackberry phones.

    3. If you now or software has a lot of dough to waste or have the best sellers, or you do opensource. These none of the three.
