What is QNX?

The BlackBerry Tablet OS is built upon the QNX® Neutrino® Real-Time OS (RTOS), one of the most reliable, secure and robust operating systems in the world. Neutrino has been field hardened for years and is being used to support mission-critical applications in everything from planes, trains and automobiles to medical equipment and the largest core routers that run the Internet. The new BlackBerry Tablet OS leverages and builds upon the many proven strengths of QNX Neutrino to support the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to provide an unparalleled user experience and to redefine the possibilities for mobile computing.
