It's being reported that Ford has decided to kick Microsoft to the curb in favor of a software switch to former handheld mega-success Blackberry. The switch will have Ford using BB's QNX operating system going forward. Although Blackberry has fallen on (very) hard times when it comes to handheld mobile devices, it's still in the game when it comes to things like this; QNX has gotten good reviews from multiple angles. It is unclear, however, whether this switch will be something that can be done in retrograde fashion for those of us with vehicles already in our garages with the lovely (cough-cough) MFT system already installed. My initial reflexive reaction is to say that this will likely lead to a better product going forward, but will leave stranded existing users. I hope that's not the case.
