We were impressed with new BBX features including Adobe Air 3.0 support, BlackBerry Runtime (Android app support), and hardware acceleration capabilities with OpenGL and Open AL support. While we view these features as marked improvements versus BB OS and QNX, we believe BBX needs further improvement to compete against the developer environments of Android and iOS.
Like Abramsky and McCourt, he notes the lack of detail about timing of the BBX-based smartphones. When those phones ship, which he thinks will be “mid-2012,” they face “intensifying smartphone competition,” as Microsoft’s (MSFT) “Windows 7.5” OS battles for developer support as well.
