At the RIM DevCon, co-CEO Mike Lazarides announced the company’s newest mobile operating system. Called BBX, the OS is very similar to the QNX operating system used on PlayBook tablets, but this OS also works on smartphones and embedded devices. It also boasts better power management, security features and support for multi-core processors.
RIM’s BlackBerry platform has struggled of late, losing customers to Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.
