Necc0 posted:so did them going private via an external buyout not *technically* count since it wasn't a competitor? they're not private, they're still a public company current stock price: $7.12 USD market cap: $3.75 billion arguably they are indentured to their lenders, who appointed the CEO and basically have a lien on everything now.

their traffic must be down considerably since those days. not much reason to keep a second data center open unless you care about service uptime, which they probably don't anymore

blackberry got their reputation for security back when that meant that if the phone was stolen they could disable it and the thief wouldn't be able to read your email and messages. today security means a whole lot more. blackberries never evolved that ability particularly well and lol at securing android.

companies rarely die completely, often they end up being a mailbox in a law firm somewhere after years of shrinking. we have to draw the line somewhere, and the number one smartphone maker in the world circa 2007 stopping making phones entirely seems like a pretty good place to do it.

qnx has been big in automotive for a long time. presumably they want to provide a base OS for self driving cars with drivers for the most common sensor types and abstract car controls, and leave the actual driving smarts to the individual implementors. that would be the smart thing to do since they don't have the money to actually do real self driving development.

qnx is a decent os when your number one criteria is "doesn't crash" and number two is "kind of unixy". my car runs it with a Linux user land in the entertainment system. it was not a bad choice for a phone OS. the problem was in no way the kernel and base OS frameworks, it was the junk on top of that written by blackberry and also that they were way late to market and their hardware sucked.

BobHoward posted:yeah wasn't blackberry os "classic" basically their hellfucked pager os that grew up to become a really bad smartphone os? I remember articles about how they realized that improving bbyos wasn't going anywhere, they couldn't hire any talent good enough to take on cleaning the augean stables because those people would not want that job, and really they just couldn't attract good talent period. so they bought qnx and it was the right move yeah, it was garbage in the same way palmos and s40 were. shared memory cooperative multitasking systems (more or less) that aren't designed to run apps as we know them. qnx gave them a modern kernel. buying it was actually a smart move because it saved them a lot of effort. but the outcome would have been exactly the same whether they used linux or any other modern kernel.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:in 2002 the main product was a multitasking smartphone with 2G internet, that used java for 100% of development, both system and applications. they were way the gently caress ahead of their time, and squandered it all it was a garbage os, so bad that they had to throw it out and start over. they didn't even grasp the problem until long after they were eclipsed by good phones.
