These guys at Ford seem to really have their finger on the pulse of technology, don't they? Ditching one bad company for an even worse one.
From what I've seen, QNX is technically pretty great and has the most advanced and smoothest multi-tasking system on mobile, in a very battery-efficient way. I just don't think Blackberry, the company, will be around for long or in a very strong shape to support big customers in the future. That's why I believe Ford made a bad bet for the future, here.
That being said, my hope is Blackberry open sources QNX before it goes belly up, so it can benefit all of humanity. To do otherwise, and leave it for dead on the shelf of a corporate scavenger or a patent troll like IV or Rockstar when the inevitable sell-off comes, would be a damn shame.
