During the course of the past six months, several companies have announced their new mobile platform hoping to break the Apple-Google duopoly. After a long period of silence, BlackBerry is starting to create a buzz in the mobile industry with the release of the highly anticipated mobile platform, the BlackBerry OS 10. Source Model: Open Source OS Architecture: Monolithic (Linux Kernel) Supported App Framework: Qt/QML User Interface: Jolla UI Min. The result that the team is hoping for is platform that “brings and fosters innovation to offer unique differentiation and a competitive advantage for OEMs and ODMs, chipset providers, operators, application developers and retailers.” Jolla Ltd. has yet to officially name a mobile manufacturer that would carry their OS.
