RIM buys QNX
RIM, a company best known for its flagship Blackberry, has bought the QNX software unit , responsible for developing the operating system. Since QNX is strongly established in automotive RIM could find a good position to grow on the phone in the car.
Moreover it is known that some developers of KDE (Plasma especially) who worked for QNX are no longer volunteers for reasons of incompatibility. It seems that the problem is that Plasma is a technology that also feed the Qt libraries. Remember that Qt belongs to Nokia, which is direct competition from RIM.
