QNX is not still in beta , it's been out for about 18 years as a commercial
operating system. It is also a very expnesive commericial operating system
that's designed for process control applications. (i.e. Gas/Water/Electrical
plant control). So, in other words, don't expeect it to hit stores any time
soon.
