Oh definitely. People sometimes forget companies buy other companies not just for the windfall benefit to their existing structure (like putting qnx on the playbook) but also for the additional revenue that the purchased company derives.
Qnx is the software that operates on jet fighter aircraft in the military. Unlike android, it isnt free. The government pays for it. That is contract driven streams of revenue you can count on. There are other qnx run systems too that are garaunteed to throw off cash...
Now all those earnings land in RIM's wallet. Smart move. Dont forget TAT either....

The earnings for qnx are minuscule compared to rim's. It won't add much to their bottom line.
Qnx only has about 45 million a year in revenue. It is a small company. Only 225 employees.
