Freshly Exhumed writes "Research In Motion, maker of BlackBerry smartphones, said on Friday it will buy QNX Software Systems, makers of Real-Time Operating Systems, for an undisclosed amount as it moves to boost integration of its devices with in-vehicle audio systems. QNX Neutrino is a Unix-like RTOS, and their Momentics development suite is for embedded applications for a wide variety of industries. While RIM has offered somewhat limited support of open source projects on its BlackBerry platform, the future of QNX's Foundry27 development project, which uses the Apache 2.0 license, has not yet been mentioned."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmobile.slashdot.org%2Fst ory%2F10%2F04%2F09%2F1854211%2FBlackBerry-Maker-To-Buy-QNX-For-RTOS-amp-Dev-Suite" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=BlackBerry+Maker+To+Buy+QNX+For+RTOS+% 26amp%3B+Dev.+Suite%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fbdl8n 2" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/10/04/09/1854211/BlackBerry-Maker-To-Buy-QNX-For-RTOS-amp-Dev-Suite?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/8d5GzFtJabzlHO0aWxkUCnG4K9I/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/8d5GzFtJabzlHO0aWxkUCnG4K9I/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/8d5GzFtJabzlHO0aWxkUCnG4K9I/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/8d5GzFtJabzlHO0aWxkUCnG4K9I/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/QCiyw9Dx4A4" height="1" width="1"/
