The link says they are using Blackberry in BMW and Audi. If it's good enough for them then it should be good enough for Ford. They must like what they see as its cheaper and better from what the article says.

I don't think it's a bad idea since Sync, while innovative at the time, has not advanced much in recent years, and Microsoft is too expensive. Yeah, I would probably opt for going with Google Android, but QNX ain't bad. We shall see.

Never mind advanced, there were serious issues with Microsoft Sync that were never corrected by Microsoft. The Sync in my F150 varied between "somewhat useful" and "infuriatingly buggy" depending on who knows what, yet no updates have been delivered in the past three years. Good riddance.

Yep, so QNX is cheaper and, hopefully, better.

I think it is a problem indicative of Microsoft over the past few years. They say they want to have all these markets, but do not seem to follow through with the resources to be successful.
