Thanks for the technical info about QNX. I have to say the Playbook with OS 2.0 based on QNX is a nice product from a user standpoint.

The reason I brought it up is that will be RIM phones in 2012 based on QNX. Not knowing what Nokia will end up doing, these may be the only commercially available *nix phones in 2012. With Qt officially supported, If they can be rooted like the Playbook was, then I see potential.

I'd rather drop the semantics about Unix and Linux, and focus on what *nix phones or *nix phone software are next after fremantle.
