Canadian company Blackberry was once the leading smartphone maker in the world. However, within the space of several years, the launch of the iPhone in 2007 and then Android put paid to that. In what must be like a recurring nightmare for the company, Apple and Google are coming for them again in a market where they currently enjoy success.
A version of QNX (made by Blackberry) is in my Volkswagen. It’s quick, noninvasive, and still works well despite my removal of the 4G comm box that connected it to the Internet. I’d truly miss QNX if it disappeared.
the UI of that was from an aquisition of The Astonishing Tribe (TAT), a user interface design company based in Malmö, Sweden, was acquired by the company on December 2, 2010.[183][184] With a history of creating user interfaces and applications for mobile, TAT contributed heavily to the user experience of BlackBerry 10 as well as the development of its GUI framework, Cascades.
I miss BB10 (maybe the physical device more than the OS lol) dearly! That’s pretty neat to know both interfaces were derived from the same source, I knew I noticed a lot of similarities!
There are still base features of BB10 that are not native on iOS or Android (I have the former for work and the latter for my personal). It probably sounds trivial, but I liked being able to have the phone automatically switch sound profiles bases on stuff in the calendar. Never had to remember to switch my phone to vibrate when going from the factory floor to a meeting.
You know how your infotainment is fast to start up, works well and is only buggy when using CarPlay/AndroidAuto? Well now expect only the CarPlay/AA experience.
QNX is a great OS, and it’s unfortunate that instead of getting better integration, we’re getting whatever Google and Apple shovels at the auto industry.
Mr. Owens, I have detected that I accidentally ran over a 67 year old woman, her pet Chihuahua and a little girl approximately 5 years, 6 months, 3 days and six hours old. I will shut down now for the authorities to correctly apply justice corrections. But first I need to backup because we already ran a red light. Tesla is hereby not responsible since you had your hands at the wheel during the accident. Sorry.

Title gore?
Yeah, I don’t understand what that’s trying to say. BlackBerry got crushed by Apple and Google, that part is true…
But who’s in whose sights? Are Apple and Google in BlackBerry’s sights? Or is BlackBerry back in Apple and Google’s sights to be crushed again.
It’s a horrible title.
