After a long scene about the BlackBerry Playbook Tablet rumors, RIM finally confirm this rumor. PlayBook Tablet will have a 7 inch screen, uses a 1GHz dual-core processor,
1GB of RAM, supports full HTML 5 browser, supports flash 10.1 with the video acceleration features, 2 pieces and complete HD-capable camera with HDMI output up to 1080p quality video images. One that is different from ordinary products RIM BlackBerry, Playbook using QNX operating system.
QNX Operating System
QNX is a real time operating system designed for critical tasks. Developed by QNX Software Systems it has a structure similar to UNIX and is compatible to POSIX. With an API Wrapper it supports software for Linux, the source code was opened by QNX partly. His strengths are the development of software, control of industrial roboters and embedded devices.
By the real time ability of QNX the Neutrino Kernel allows with a pentium III the controlled reaction time (interrupt processing) of 0.55 µ sec in which events can be registered. For comparison purposes: Windows NT 4.0 and other time-sharing operating systems react to events only after approx. 10 ms. The GUI with the name photon was introduced for the first time in version QNX 4.x. Before the window manager was named "QNX Windows" and "X Windows". Among other things the reaction behaviour of the GUI was improved. (http://www.operating-system.org).
In April, RIM bought QNX, which had been working on the PlayBook operating system for at least a year. The QNX operating system has been deployed in cars, medical devices, networking gear from Cisco and other embedded machines.
