QNX may be a superior operating system but what does it mean to the average user? I believe most if not all operating systems in end consumer electronics and computers are not real time. Are we running mission critical tasks that have hard schedules that must be met? Most likely not. iOS may not multi-task nicely, and that's one of its flaws.
On low power mobile processors, QNX may run more efficiently. But these processors are getting more and more powerful to the point where they can run Windows. Everyone here has experience using Windows, OS X, and Linux right? These aren't real time operating systems (though there are real time variants) but yet they still seem to do their job no?
It is like comparing apples and oranges but to the average user its still a fruit, and that's all they will see.
