14. BlackBerry OS History
 BlackBerry OS is a proprietary mobile operating system
developed by BlackBerry Ltd
 Versions : 1 – 7
 Version 6: WebKit based browser – Q3 2010
 Version 7: WiFi hotspot, calling over WiFi – 2011 – 2012

 The advantage to a microkernel is that any failed service can be easily
restarted, for instance, there is no kernel halt if the root file system throws
an abort.
 Take advantage of built-in multiprocessing capabilities harness the power of
multi-core processors
 Extensive support for the POSIX standard, which allows quick migration from
Linux, Unix, and other open source programs.
