Security Testers Give the BlackBerry PlayBook a Thumbs Up

I did love some of the lines from the first part of the report which was just released like:

Although Neutrino is similar in many ways to a traditional UNIX environment, the QNX microkernel is substantially different from the monolithic Linux kernel.
