Palm To Purchase Be's IP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the odd-combination dept.

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.

    Do we even know that Palm will be keeping on the Be employees? All the articles really talk about is Palm buying Be's IP. They gave brief lip service to the fact that Gassee (sp?) will help in the transition of technology.
