Blackberry maker Research In Motion is turning to technology used in BMW audio systems and the Army's Crusher tank as it tries to distinguish its new tablet computer from Apple's iPad, said three people familiar with the plans.
The yet-to-be-announced tablet will run on software developed by QNX Software Systems. QNX's software is used in products from companies including Cisco Systems, General Electric and Caterpillar. RIM, based in Waterloo, Ontario, is racing to introduce its tablet as rivals debut similar devices that fill the gap between smartphones and laptops.
By using QNX technology, RIM could take advantage of the independent software developers who create applications for QNX and build on the popularity of its BlackBerry smartphone with corporate customers.
