Good enough for the Military & BMW. Good enough for me

RIM using Crusher-tank technology in new tablet device: sources - thestar.com

What's more interesting is when you go to the QNX site is that they have a secure kernel version of the OS. I think this pad is really a crash program for how this QNX purchase could power a true iPhone/Android competitor. Better to test it out on a separate platform then if it works great port it to a phone.

I'm curious who's going to create the apps that the Blackpad users are going to be doing all the creating on.

Mmmm. I love the rich and milky sound from a BMW system. If only it was possible to match the 10 speaker sound from a tablet...

And I've always wanted to run over a BlackPad with a Crusher Tank lol

If anyone was curious what the Crusher was, it's pretty badass:

Wow

That is pretty cool! Not sure how they will reproduce what it does without the radar or at least 4 cameras though (2 in the front, 2 in the back). I'm doubtful they will throw a spinning radar on the BP. If they can figure it out though, maybe it could get close to a 10 speaker sound.

I can't believe they didn't shoot the mounted gun in the video

Well, I got two things out of that video....

1) When you need to control an autonomous machine, use an Apple device.

2) The military will soon be building some HK-Tanks.

I believe that function was mapped to the right trigger button on the XBox controller. lol

Holy cow that thing is awesome! I can't wait for the blackpad to come out. Any chance we'll see it this year?

oh that's smart. so use an Apple device in the middle of warfare conditions where intensive precision required, where whether or not you get a notification of sorts can mean whether you die or not.

That's OK, I hear the enemy will give you 5 minutes to battery-pull your BB to get it working again. lol

I lol'ed at this.

But c'mon, I've never had to battery pull because my BB "doesn't work". I've only had 6 months with a Curve 8520, does that count?

haha, thats only cause the enemy is still busy trying to jailbreak theirs to give it some functionality. either that or their antenna keeps dropping out to give the order to fire.
