Black Berry has owned QNX Since 2010

-Retracted-

Your correct they did push BlackBerry10 in 2013, but BlackBerry 7 (No clue what happened to 8, and 9) was not an upgrade from 6 and was only available on newer phones. Which leads me to believe 7 was actually the QNX implementation.

I am very sure BB10 was the first QNX release. Its release slipped many times, and was over a year late to market.

Wasn't PlayBook a QNX release?

Yes.

OS: Blackberry Tablet (QNX)

From the BlackBerry Tablet page

"Another QNX-based operating system, known as BlackBerry 10, will replace the long-standing BlackBerry OS on handsets after version 7."
