Ah, QNX has *lots* of apps - but most of them are only seen onsite at various facilities, or in devices all over the place, or carrying network traffic ; }
That makes them a good target for developers.

I must admit that I'm baffled by your conclusion regarding the existing applications for QNX and how that lends itself well to a mass market environment.
That gearheads are really enjoying writing custom low-level applications couldn't be further from what "developers" are looking for. Most developers I know want to write a few programs and sell them for big bucks to hundreds of thousands of no-too-discriminating buyers.
It seems from your statements that the most sought after software for doing QNX applications is going to be software development tools as opposed to applications and entertainment software.
Then again, there's a wide open market entirely lacking in software with mass market appeal. Chicken and egg anyone?
