Research In Motion (RIM)
showed off its next generation operating system called BBX that blends
the company's BlackBerry 7 OS and the QNX OS that powers the PlayBook
tablet at the BlackBerry DevCon
in San Francisco.
The next-gen OS includes HTML5 support, bolstered security and a
commitment to open standards, the RIM said. BBX will power all of its future smartphones,
mobile devices and embedded systems.
