$黑莓(BBRY)$
在国外论坛上搜索关于QNX的信息，得到了以下信息，希望对各位BBRY的观察者有用。
QNX isn't "the software in cars", it's the KERNEL that the software in cars is built on. It's the foundation, but it isn't the whole building. Foundations are important, no doubt about it, but the car companies have to add on all the features, the drivers for the specific hardware, and build a UI to allow the user to interact with it. Again, using a building metaphor, as important as a foundation is to a home, you can't just poor a slab of cement and start moving your stuff in; you still have to build walls, a roof, add electrical and plumbing, appliances, cabinets, paint and finish, and THEN you can move in and live there.
QNX并不是指“汽车上的软件程序”，它是一套内核，洗车软件都是基于它之上建立的。它只是地基，而非整个建筑。地基毫无疑问确实很重要，但汽车公司需要添加所有的功能，特定硬件的驱动，以及建立一个人机交互界面。另外，再用一个比喻来解释一下，就像地基对于房子的重要性一样，你不能仅仅把水泥铺好就住进去，还是需要建墙，屋顶，添加其他应用。

So, I think the confusion comes from the fact that people are misunderstanding what QNX is and overestimating its value in comparison to the value of the entire vehicle OS/interface.
所以，我觉得困惑来自于人们对QNX到底是什么的误解，并且高估了他对整个汽车操作系统的价值。

Before BB bought QNX, it's yearly revenues were about $40M a year. BB paid five times that, or $200M, to acquire QNX, but I doubt that revenues for it have gone up significantly, and $40M is a drop in the bucket for a company the size of BB.
在黑莓从哈曼国际收购QNX之前，它一年的收入大概在4000万刀，黑莓支付了2亿刀收购它，但我怀疑它这几年是否还在快速增长40万对于黑莓这样体量的公司来说，是杯水车薪。


看后解答了一些疑惑，QNX系统的现状并没有我预想的好，短期内似乎也只能像ARM一样收一收专利费用。后来又看到一篇讲John Chen如何规划QNX系统的，里面有谈到现在每年QNX的revenue有1亿刀，未来把它推向M2M（Machine to Machine)
