RIM Merging BlackBerry and QNX Platforms
Brighthand: RIM's two separate operating systems for smartphones and tablets will soon be a thing of the past.
"While Google is drawing a clear line between tablet and smartphone versions of its Android operating system, it looks like Research in Motion has no intention of going the same route."
"A timetable for the next two versions of RIM's operating system has surfaced, and having two separate operating systems for its smartphones and tablets will soon be a thing of the past. But first, RIM will release the last version of its smartphone OS, BlackBerry OS 6.1, later this year, which will introduce some minor changes including graphics improvements."
