Hey everyone....for those that missed it on BNN today please find the link below. The entire clip is great but the news gets really good for RIM and BB10 around the 5 minute and 56 second mark of the video. Check it out and see kind of what RIM has been saying about competing in vertical markets...it is going to be exciting and I think this is the kind of information that needs to get out to the public...pass it on everywhere.

Here is the link...

Cheers and go get them RIM.

I have to wonder if those analysts making stock predictions have any real idea what RIM is setting itself up to be capable of.

[Dapper37]

Love it, known about it for a long time now. Happy to see the mainstream media catch on.
Simply consider how many time we pull out our wallets wile driving our cars. Gas, fast food, on and on. Secure wallets, life is going to be much easier with BB10

They have absolutely no clue. QNX already has autonomy in the "whole market" . Paratek will provide for universal radio stack support. QNX will now have SDK's to provide the medical industry, QNX Car platform , essential services etc. All connected to the NOC. The potential revenue for RIM with a connected mobile computing platform is mind boggling.

BlackBerry github depositories etc, open source code and "prepackaged GUI's" such as Cascades for example will allow industry to have accelerated time to market which is founded on an OS that has certification second to none and is already proven. Tie this into the NOC, support for distributed networking and QNX based routers making everything come together in real time......with zero latency. Not to mention QNX has POSIX certification.

All the pieces for RIM to connect the world through distributed mobile computing is falling into the place under the radar. Just as the sun at dawn drapes the globe. RIM will be able to connect the world with the flick of the switch. It really doesn't matter what the common consumer thinks of RIM. They are already in bed with the largest and most influential companies in the world whom already utilize QNX neutrino. Too many people are contained within the box and can't see the forest through the trees. 2013 is going to be a very exciting year for us BB folk

Very good video. Thank you very much for posting. I'm very surprised that the host was surprised of RIM's reach in these sectors (auto, medical, etc.). Thorsten has mentioned this in every keynote and almost every interview since May. Just goes to show how closed minded and biased the media is.

"guss, who knew"

i did, folks like this that know something about software and hardware that go on media outlets liek this and spread the word around is great for RIM.

i would think a good way to connect to RIMs NOC would be to send out QNX updated and incorperate a bridge function and an app to bridge through bluetooth on devices, an app can always be written for not only BB10 or BB devices but also Android WP and iOS to creat an access point to RIMs infrastructure, since most infotainment systems have bluetooth its not exactly hard to do and no added hardware is needed simply a mobile phone with a data service. even if RIM built a simple device like the music gateway but rather then a music player its a way of connecting an LTE radio chip via bluetooth dto creat an access point, the possibilities are there you just have to think outside the box which it seems like RIM is doing

now alot may say just because they use the QNX software doesn't mean companys will allow RIM to connect to the system but like the guy in the video said RIM has their BES and BIS infrastructures that can't allow easy access through any carrier not a bad in if you ask me.

i do believe RIM buying QNX was the best thing for both companies, RIM can unleash QNX while QNX can help make the BB software stable and versitile

Great finding !
Now people will start to get what a "platform" (V.S O.S) is.
Loved the 'overnight ready' part
#I like that.

And this might be a very relevant (partial) answer to "if RIM drops BIS for phones, how will they turn NOC infrastructure into revenues ?"

i can't see them dropping their bread and butter, BIS has cost them millions if not billions to support and maintain over the years, its been a major selling point to them, why drop it now for something less.

we'll see when BB10 is released but i don't think BIS will go away, demos have show the BIS/BES icon beside the signal meter, atleast leaked versions have shown it

Agree; let's salt my statement : "if RIM is not making use of BIS mandatory with BB10". BIS-like will still be needed for device tightened purposes, such as BBM.

Wow, who needs viagra, I just got a woody watching that.

[jrohland]

Who put all this in motion? Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis is who. Those guys saw the future for RIM and made some great acquisitions. And they started the inside out rebuilding of RIM. They made one big mistakes; they ignored LTE. That meant Verizon was not interested in selling BBs.

They also ignored the iPhone when it first launched. That was their big mistake.

true but the iPhone gets more hype then it deserves so in some ways i don't blame them

[Tank1978]

Buy your shares now!!!

[owadkelly]

LOL

[Playbookjoe]

They've talked about the 'new noc' in various videos and interviews.
One thing mentioned is apps that require realtime updates (facebook) would be implemented similarly to today's bis email. You enter the credentials and instead of the device polling the server for updates, the noc does this and pushes the updates to your device.
Others mentioned, or alluded to, are for augmented reality, advertising, cloud services, and m2m links. (your car picks up where you were navigating to, you PlayBook picks up the document you were working on, you workstation picks up your apps and documents, etc.

[rolltide78]

Agree with the potential but I'm still cautious since you are hearing from company after company ditching BBs for iPhones. Is their strategy just to hope that they put in a BES10 server once users start buying BB10 phones?

BES10 can be used with not just BB10 but Android and iOS, it also have properties that can keep track of the legacy devices on BES5 servers

[rolltide78]

I know. We have it deployed (but not using ios/android functionality). I'm just curious what their strategy is for winning back the "mindshare" of companies ditching BB7-older devices and BES for other platforms. It seems like many companies now are going with others to not have to pay for BES because they aren't willing to pay for the security and don't care about securing the "data at rest" (which Mobile Fusion doesn't provide like Good for Enterprise). I guess this is why BB10 will natively sync with ActiveSync and then a company that wants additional security can put in MF/BES10? Or do you think these companies who are supposedly jumping ship will leave their old BES server in place and wait for BES10 to determine if they will fully cut the cord?

It also makes me wonder if they have some serious feature rich enterprise options available up their sleeve with BB10.

Thorsten seems very confident so I'm curious what he knows that we don't know. Just last week a company near me sent out an email to the 1000+ employees that they will not be supporting BlackBerry after December. They can choose an Android or iOS phone with Good for Enterprise installed to access their email.

BES10 is cheaper and allows for more fuctions and security esspecially when running a BB10 device

i think they've already written articles about QNX

Searching through the articles I see can couple but not one really talking about how much it will help rim grow financially. If I was smart enough I would write it myself:P
