BlackBerry Tablet OS is an operating system from Research in Motion (RIM) based on the QNX Neutrino real-time operating system designed to run Adobe AIR and BlackBerry WebWorks applications, currently targeting the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet computer. The BlackBerry OS for the PlayBook, the BlackBerry Tablet OS, is the first tablet running an operating system from QNX, the company responsible for real-time operating systems used in products from cars to nuclear reactors. QNX is now a subsidiary of RIM.

The OS has, by and large, received positive reviews, and features of it have often been on the “plus” side of reviews. The BlackBerry PlayBook ably showcases RIM's powerful new mobile operating system, but its middling size diminishes many of its best features.BlackBerry Tablet OS, 1 GB, 1 GHz, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, 7.6 in x 0.4 in x 5.1 in, 7 in, TFT active matrix - Yes, 15 oz

BlackBerry Tablet OS supports standard BlackBerry Java applications. Support for Android apps has also been announced, through sandbox "app players".A BlackBerry Tablet OS Native Development Kit, to develop native applications with the GNU toolchain is currently in closed beta testing. The first device to run BlackBerry Tablet OS was the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet computer.^[4]

A similar QNX-based operating system, known as BlackBerry 10, will replace the long-standing BlackBerry OS on handsets after version 7
