Page "BeOS" Paragraph 9

Be Inc. also released a stripped-down version of BeOS for Internet Appliances ( BeIA ), which soon became the company's business focus in place of BeOS.

BeOS PE and BeIA proved to be too little too late, and in 2001 Be's copyrights were sold to Palm, Inc. for some $ 11 million.

BeOS R5 is considered the last official version, but BeOS R5. 1 " Dano ", which was under development before Be's sale to Palm and included the BeOS Networking Environment ( BONE ) networking stack, was leaked to the public shortly after the company's demise.
