Reports indicated Ford is ready to leave Microsoft behind as the supplier of its in-vehicle infotainment platform and move to Blackberry's QNX OS



From Computerworld:

Ford is reportedly set to replace the Windows-based Sync platform in its cars with an open standards-based system used by several other automakers.

Ford, among the first car companies to offer the ability to pair mobile devices with its in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system, plans to dump Microsoft's Windows Embedded Automotive OS as its Sync IVI platform and adopt Blackberry's open standards-based OS QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment, according to reports by Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal.
