Palm To Purchase Be's IP 336
There's been a lot of rumours swirling around an imminent buyout of Be's IP given their current cash situation. But I wouldn't have thought of Palm as a potential suitor - but a story in the subscription only area of today's WSJ indicates it to be true. Hopefully a non-pay service will get the story soon - but looks like Palm is trying to beef up its software side, and wants to get some Be's engineers.Update: 08/16 02:16 PM by H :Looks like C|Net has the details - 11 million USD in Palm stock for the purchase of Be.

Yeah, and if I can combine a bologna sandwich with a rocket ship, I won't fly to the moon hungry.

Holy shit! Hide the women, children, and copies of BeOS 5 on your hard drive, because apparantly JLG will be comin' round to delete them!
(The copies of BeOS, not your women and children.)
