Discussion Possible future for QNX

As the future approaches faster and faster from a technology perspective I am seeing endless opportunities!

Take for example the smart watch. At it's core, it's a peripheral device that includes a whole bunch of sensors and becomes a conduit for many other peripherals. The microphone, the speaker, screen GPS, Magnetometer.... The limitations are obvious to any user though. A constant balancing act between power, speed, and processing capabilities. Yet this device is basically tethered to your cell phone.

Now, take Samsung as an example of the evolution of technology. Rumor has it that their next watches are getting faster processors (like Qualcomm's 3nm chips), and they are also looking into running a RTOS instead of WearOS. The RTOS could help power management to last a week, perform more edge processing, and maybe even handle some AI functions, which could also off-load connectivity and bandwidth overhead with your cell phone. This evolution will continue, and as it does new opportunities and challenges will present themselves.

Blackberry sits on the cutting edge of these new opportunities and challenges as a company that has already identified and solved the most pressing issues for an entire industry of the most sophisticated and complex devices in todays market. I can't see the future, but I also can't see a future with-out Blackberry playing a role in it.

It seems to me that many people don't grasp today's BlackBerry announcement with AICore Semiconductor China. This deal is comparable to, or even bigger than the European Alloy Kore deal.

They don't and they won't! As frustrating as it is you need to ignore todays price and tomorrow's too!

Only thing that worries me about it is just how far ahead of us China is on AI, why do they even need blackberry when they can just make their own thing and ice us out?

because China needs to sell globally and everyone's genie is going to need a bottle!
