Default QNX on the Touchpad?

Hey ya'll do you think its possible to get QNX runnin on the Touchpad? Because I played with one today and Best Buy and the OS felt very interesting and dare I say fun. I liked the fact I could load up Android apps. What would one have to do to get QNX working on the Touchpad. I'd throw in a Texas shot of whiskey to get QNX working.

Well I was referring to the Playbook OS, but I guess before the BB took it over, it was a unix based OS from what I saw on wikipedia. So, maybe it could be open source. I would think since it can run Android apps it could make a case for it being open source, no? I guess I am wrong?

qnx is a proprietary version of unix and as likely to get ported as iOS.

if <insert OS name> is open source and ARM-compatible, it is possible to port it. just have to find the right developer + motivation to do it... basically somewhat those Android developers are doing: taking an existing source code and try to make it compile

if <insert OS name> is semi-open source and ARM-compatible, then maybe. (eg, Android 3.0 isn't fully open source. but you can take binaries from existing devices and try to make it work. also, eg: WinMo updates ported from devices to other devices

if <insert OS name> isn't open source and isn't ARM-compatible, then NO. (eg, windows 7)
Current Device:
Oppo Find 5 - experimental kernel
