Many assumed-rightly so-that RIM can be using some style of OS 6.0 on its upcoming ” BlackPad” tablet, but the word on the city is that they’ll actually be using an absolutely new tablet platform, based on QNX’s microkernel-based OS, which they acquired from Harman International back in April.

Added to it’s the fear that the BlackPad would want to be tethered to a mobile device or Wi-Fi, as it wouldn’t feature integrated 3G. While I’m very intrigued by the tablet (being a BlackBerry user), I do worry that the slated November launch might possibly be rushed. We all saw what happened with the original Storm.
