It runs Flash and Blackberry phone binaries....translation: It’s got no native apps and we don’t anticipate anyone is gonna write any.
OK, that was cynical of me. Let’s be honest instead; they shoehorned QNX as-is onto this thing and spent zero time optimizing the UI or developing a proper mobile/touch API that builds on the strengths of the hardware. QNX is a neat little OS, but this whole thing reeks of desparation and me-too.
Fortunately, by “early 2011”, all the competitive current gen tablets should basically be out, so we’ll have plenty of alternatives to choose from.
