I'm looking forward to the RIM tablet... At least seeing what it is so I can decide whether to get one to carry on travel instead of a netbook. My needs are simple, and the tablet with a blackberry may be heaven for me.

Currently the best known, most widely deployed, real-time operating systems are
* QNX
* RTLinux
* VxWorks
* Windows CE
that's from the wiki, there are probably a few more not mentioned, but anything beside those are not truly "real time OS-es".
I think the easiest way to explain, is that it's more tailored to a specific device, than a non-real time OS.
