We recently announced our partnership with Nuance around their speech technology. It is now available as part of QNX CAR and a key element of the experience in the ng-Connect Toyota Prius that finds its way to what seems like every tradeshow on the planet these days.
One of the big areas of controversy around these [...]Driver Distraction and VoiceLinda Campbell

While most of the the QNX Germany team was manning the stand at Embedded World in Nuremberg last week, we were also participating at Cebit with Alcatel Lucent. Once again, the QNX based LTE Connected Car was the star of the show. In fact, the car was part of the show organizer’s tour of the [...]QNX CAR at CebitLinda Campbell

Embedded World Germany 2010Andy Gryc
 My days were filled with press interviews, conference presentations and talking to customers. My nights filled with scouring the schnitzel and sausage-filled menus for something, anything, green to eat. The Olympics wrapped up while I was in Germany, and I got to have all my Canadian colleagues give me a good natured razzing after the Canadian hockey team beat the US 3-2 in overtime. I guess I can finally admit that hockey is Canada's game and winning the silver is not bad! Congratulations Canada! The year's show was a great one for QNX. There was lots of activity and interest in our Industrial developments--our Smart Energy reference design, our Building Automation demo, our Industrial protocol work with partners, and our real-time control demo. On the automotive side, we were showing our latest QNX CAR with all the extra ng Connect features. That same QNX technology went into the 2010 Audi A8 MultiMedia Infotainment system with full multimedia and Google Earth maps which had everyone drooling. More than one person told me "this is my next car," and I don't blame them!  The show is now all packed up and everybody is home recovering from jet lag. So I guess I'll see everyone next year!

30 years of QNX: The first networked classroom computerPaul N. Leroux
Originally developed in 1983 for the Ontario Ministry of Education, the Unisys ICON educational microcomputer was the first large-scale project based on the QNX operating system. Because networking was an essential requirement, the project provided the incentive for QNX Software Systems to develop its transparent distributed processing, which, 27 years later, remains a distinctive feature of the QNX Neutrino operating system.
These systems had a surprisingly long shelf life... Continue Reading >>

30 years of QNX: The first OS to support a PC hard drivePaul N. Leroux
The XT in question used MS-DOS, but DOS wasn't the first OS to support a hard drive on a PC. That honor belongs to QNX, which in 1982 introduced support for a 5MB Davong. If that sounds small, you're right: it's just enough to store a single photo from one of today's low-end digital cameras. Supporting a hard drive wasn't the only first for QNX. It also became the first realtime OS to... Continue Reading >>

Smart energy design; not-so-smart newsfeed algorithmPaul N. Leroux
You gotta love automated newsfeeds. Case in point: Yesterday, QNX Software Systems unveiled a new reference design for smart-home energy management systems, and the news was picked up by renew grid (makes sense), ITSforhome, (makes sense), and Pharmacy Choice News (what the... ? Continue Reading >>

A quick look around EWG (like that is even remotely possible) reveals QNX in a number of partner booths. The QNX Smart Meter demo is mighty popular this year with three key silicon partners showcasing it. Freescale is showing it on the i.MX25, Texas Instruments has it on their OMAP 3530 and Atmel is demonstrating [...]QNX Sightings at Embedded World GermanyLinda Campbell
