[Miscellaneous Android Development] wozhere:
Just like WebOS/Android andother boot options on Moboot bootloader, dual boot means QNX will keep its boot and system sector or in simple language will be intact. After listening to two unrelated developers I heard them both say even if RIM paid them lots of money they would never develop any apps for RIM or work with them anymore and they said other devs told them similar after the disgusting mode of communication and behavior RIM employs as norm. So the quality and the pathetic ever decreasing quantity of apps means QNX will stay on a few defence gadgets but for the wider GLOBAL public like others with no chance against iOS & Android who bit the dust, on tablets QNX will die.

Since there is something obviously wrong with RIM management working culture and their strategies on tablets are costing them or rather poor sharehoders billion$ and they are not changing course I will agree with most financial analyses of recent months that by Q3 or lastest Q4 of 2012 RIM will either go under receivership ie: bankrupt or will be scrapped into pieces after a hostile takeover the first victim of which will be it's Achilles Hill of tablets division. The actual hardware is by a Chinese factory which makes the new Kindle too and the QNX like so many is unix based and many think the UI is riped off of WebOS which is now Open Source and givn away by HP which the tight fisted RIM will never do untill it dies. Even if its oriental new owner does give it away by fall/winter as the loss making tablet division is the problem, QNX will be too late against WebOS which is just taking that niche and no dev will build up or double similar investment in libraries.time.learning as they are doing happily on WebOS now. Hence Android and iOS will be mainstream commercial platforms and WebOS for linux Oepn Source hackers which is accpeted fait accomplit by analysts is the hard cold sobering reality a few refuse to face up to. Another reason the commercially doomed QNX (for mass tablet globally that is) will never be open source is that it is used in a few thousand security and defence machines. So again yet due to more reasons for the mass global tablet market QNX will die. Just like so many systems died in the last 30 years aganst MS & Apple. It's the old 'global number games' of software applications now known as apps.

I personally think WebOS and the similar QNX are better than Android and iOS. But that has nothing to do with reality. The mouse like ancestors of modern humans survived because they had an attribute that let them live but the older and better designed dinosaurs like Trex all died. It is not about the strongest or even best or fattest but the fittest in new circumstances.

I am sorry people have to feel to post they actually dislike whole groups of 'people' because of their opinion on mere software and they are then supported by others but fortunately we won the war against fascism and I don't generalize whole groups of people and welcome variety of opinions including those against me in our democracies. Long may it last. After reading the last two posts and reading my own analysis in response in these two posts, I have now decided due to the fact that RIM in their greed to tie down people by not prviding a SD card slot (like Amazon & Apple) and limitation of storage space it is best to push developers to implement the single boot option of Android only and getting rid of QNX altogether if that makes their job easier AND gives us more storage space. So something good came out of these recent discussions.

As one of the devs said at least one thing that comes out of the sheer evil and greedy behaivor by RIM is their amazing stupidity which is hilarious, so I agree it has been fun while it lasts. All the best to everyone :)

After a period of not doing so I have started again to spread the word in recent days and am determined we should win the poll for BBPB subforum on XDA so it can be modded after the good rooting job by Dingleberry team despite RIM's usual delaying tactics. OS2 wil be basically OS2Beta as we saw in Vegas but probably even more limited and useless as the Android market hack is probably disabled so many of us advanced users will not even bother. I am sure the majority of PB owners would like to see an Android proper port as to all effects QNX is already a dead ghost town of apps so I would ask the majority of owners to please keep spreading the word, we are back on top since yesterday but if we relax they will go ahead again so on Facebook, forums etc spread the message:
