QNX is not a new platform, it's older than Android and iOS combined. Its use as a specialized tablet / mobile OS is new though.


Also, I don't think QNX is the platform. For them QNX is the OS layer. But not the platform that you develop against. This is why the dev options are HTML5 and Flash. I bet the third API will be Java based. Like we are used to from RIM.


I remember playing with QNX when it was a 'fits on a floppy disc' OS. It’s really not a new kernel.


I learned C on QNX in college. 1987 or 88, IIRC.

QNX made PC-XTs much more interesting than they were running DOS. Last time I saw it, QNX was quite impressive.
