A version of QNX (made by Blackberry) is in my Volkswagen. It's quick, noninvasive, and still works well despite my removal of the 4G comm box that connected it to the Internet. I'd truly miss QNX if it disappeared.

the UI of that was from an aquisition of The Astonishing Tribe (TAT), a user interface design company based in Malmö, Sweden, was acquired by the company on December 2, 2010.[183][184] With a history of creating user interfaces and applications for mobile, TAT contributed heavily to the user experience of BlackBerry 10 as well as the development of its GUI framework, Cascades.

I miss BB10 (maybe the physical device more than the OS lol) dearly! That's pretty neat to know both interfaces were derived from the same source, I knew I noticed a lot of similarities!

There are still base features of BB10 that are not native on iOS or Android (I have the former for work and the latter for my personal). It probably sounds trivial, but I liked being able to have the phone automatically switch sound profiles bases on stuff in the calendar. Never had to remember to switch my phone to vibrate when going from the factory floor to a meeting.
