Thread: BB 10 os for torch 9860.

what do u think guyz? js it possible? does bb10 os needs higher speed of processor or 1.2ghz and 720 mb ram is enough to handle it..any comments are welcom. :-)

Probably but might be very laggy. I would think. Bb10 would use about 512mb of ram. As for CPU if it's not a dual core it may also alittle. Not by much.

This is not possible the drivers would not work and as well you have to remember BBOS (7 and below) were all Java based OS. BB10/QNX is a written using a totally different language.

I also forgot that. You also have a point. Even if the drivers was there and so on. Spec wise. It would still have a problem

It would require FAR more than 512 MB of RAM. The OS itself on the PlayBook typically uses about 500+ MB. That's JUST the OS. So open any apps and 512 would never work. This is why the PlayBook and Dev Alpha have 1 GB of RAM.

BlackBerry 10 Smartphones will have at least 1 GB of RAM because of this. In regards to the processor. I believe a single core would work. RIM was using a Single Core 1 GHz Marvell processor in prototypes of the PlayBook. Obviously with the dual core you gain several advantages like the 3D rendering, TAT made a great video demoing this, other things like multitasking work well on a dual core + 1 GB of RAM.

It will run on a single core yes, the whole reason why RIM changed the processor in the PlayBook from a Marvell Single Core 1 GHz to a Texas Instruments (TI) Dual Core was that they weren't happy with the performance out of that processor, so they went all out with the TI OMAP 4430, making the PlayBook debut as the first device to use the TI OMAP 4430 Dual Core SoC (System on a Chip).
