- Personally, there's no chance I would buy one if it didn't have an entirely different OS. Who needs a huge Storm that can't fit in your pocket? haha
Pretty excited to see what they do with the Crusher Tank technology too.08-26-10 03:36 PMLike 0 - FubazCrackBerry's Sour Grape

Just hope they put a decent screen and for once "more than enough" memory (as opposed to just enough)

Kevin did say that he believed too coupd easily run Android Apps on a QNX based OS. If that is the case and there is some sort of emulator or the SDK allows Dev's to easily port stuff over than RIM would just win.
Guess we just wait and see what this new OS brings. We may not see it until 2011 and it may well suck. Who knows.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-27-10 07:37 AMLike 0 - so what kevin had to say in his podcast was very interesting.
he thinks this whole new os with the qnx will be able to nrun android apps wow!
if that were true blacberry would get all those apps over night and the flash is in the qnx os to this would be night and day for rim!08-28-10 08:24 PMLike 0 - I'm in the market for a tablet, so I eat up any tablet news right now but RIM will not be able to deliver a smooth/fast experience if data is still going to be pushed through their servers....
Plus, they still need to do work on BB OS 6 so what makes them so confident about making ANOTHER OS right now?.... That's whats on my mind...08-28-10 10:53 PMLike 0 -
- bring this new OS on! i honestly see some real exciting things happening with this OS and thats just basing it on what i've read about QNX and off of what others have said about it. If this OS is capable of running android apps, then us future blackpad owners (and anyone thinking of getting the storm4???) are in for a treat . Im honestly hoping it surprises me with features and im hoping because its made by QNX (they do create the software used in tanks after all) that they can throw in a couple extra bells and whistles.
and really, how many beamers do you really hear of breaking down due to software? Thats a legit/honest question too....im no car expert but i haven't heard a lot about BMW's failing due to software....correct me if im wrong08-30-10 01:33 AMLike 0 -
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-30-10 06:25 AMLike 0 - Yeah Rello. Kevin started up some sh�t with his prediction.
I can't imagine you'll be able to just run Android apps but it may be very easy to crate an emulator or have developers just port apps from one platform to the other.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-30-10 06:28 AMLike 0 - change the name of the blackpad and keep it in line with the name blackberry and you have a winner :P (im being serious) blackberry blackpad doesn't roll of the tongue so well.
everyone is going on about how great android is with tablets etc. to me that's just an oversized phone wannabe with apps, esp when you have that chrome OS lurking its head. Either way, its needs to be more focused in becoming a productivity tool - hopefully RIM have the answer for this because the ipad may have started this evolution but it certainly hasn't cemented it with the lack of ports for a start!
QNX OS will be interesting and as has been said by RIM it'll be a good way to begin afresh without affecting their main mobile market - testing the waters you could say. In the long term it could be very beneficial for blackberry mobile users.08-30-10 07:47 AMLike 0 - It won't be black pad. If anyone thinks that it is, place a bet with Kevin. He was pretty vocal on that in the podcast.

If the apps could be loaded up into App world with no changes, or via Mobihand or some other sideload site/method, Devs would be jumping on that. Who wouldn't want their app available to the #1/#2 market share platform in NA, for no real effort!? App World would explode overnight.
As Kevin stated between the millions of flash apps on the web, and the android apps (that might have to be uploaded or ported to BB in some way) they would be laughing at Apple's # of apps.
Not sure I think this will happen, but Kevin is more in the know, so I guess he's getting this from somewhere.
As a Side bar - any guesses as to what that acquisition was he was hinting at? I am thinking Steelthoren Software (makers of Quick Pull!)08-30-10 01:50 PMLike 0 - ===== QUOTE cplush ====
I highly highly doubt google would give a blackberry device access to the android market. And even then, would those apps be able to run on a blackpad? A lot of variables and too much compitition between the two

Yeah there is no way you would be logging into the Android Market. Buttttt....
