    I bet as soon as it comes out some people are going to find a way to wipe it and install QNX. Does make me feel bad for paying full price on this thing. That is probably what I would have done with an amazon fire!

    Why settle for a cheap imitation when you have the real deal in front of you?

    Sure they might be able to put QNX on it. But, the PlayBook OS will never get ported over probably due to the fact RIM locks downtheir **** pretty good.

    Ummm why would any one want to port BB QNX to the KF? There's no reason to as there is no ecosystem to enjoy. Someone may try it as a project though just to say I did it.

    QNX? No. Ice Cream Sandwich? Yes.

    QNX? your logic is out of whack considering the Playbook has better hardware and at 250 right now at staples. Just get or keep the Playbook if you want the QNX experience.

    Since this is an Android based Tablet I have moved this thread to the Android Forum.

    Why the f!@# would anybody put QNX on it? Or even want to, for that matter.

    Frack QNX in the tablet OS world it ranks last. That's why the PB is such a hot seller

    I will but it if it gets Honeycomb ported to it which is a much better OS than QNX.

    Lol

    "The PlayBook, made by Research in Motion (RIMM), has struggled to make its mark. Early reviews largely panned the PlayBook, criticizing the tablet's "unfinished" feel."

    From this article BlackBerry PlayBook price drops to $299 at Best Buy, Staples - Sep. 29, 2011

    Yeah, QNX all the way, baby!

    Lol. As of right now I don't want QNX anywhere near my Kindle Fire when I get it. There is absolutely no ecosystem, and my Google account is already filled with great Android apps.

    Stock Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich? Oh **** yea. I'm sure it will be rooted and have a port in no time.

    Alot of people like the bridge for free tethering, and want a playbook for that. If you can get a kindle cheaper and turn it into a playbook, there ya go!

    How about bezel gestures genius?

    Besides being logistically impossible, it will never be done because QNX is a dead tablet platform. No one will want to put time and effort into something that no one cares about or wants.

    QNX is not dead. It's just a baby on a tablet and I for one am going for the ride wherever that may be. If the ride goes nowhere no big loss and I'll get whatever I like whenever that time is.

    That's the spirit! enjoy what you like, and when it comes to an ignoble end, switch to one of the market leaders for a change.

    Some serious downers posting in this thread. As far as I've heard, the fire won't have half the hw features of the pb. So good luck with that

    Hardware doesn't mean anything, when you're using it to run antiquated software. And let's face it, QNX might be "new", but it's a dog that won't hunt.

    Here's the thing you and RIM seem to overlook. Ecosystem tends to trump hardware in the consciousness of consumers.

    Don't take my word for it. Look at tech adoption numbers.

    Nice. Classy response.

    1. QNX isnt new
    2. You don't know how the final product will function

    QNX vs. Android. Well there are only two places in this race and I place Android a firm third out of two.

    Do not confuse quality with quantity. Potatos outsell caviar.

    Anyway, QNX will soon run most of the Android software.
