    this news followed the aquisition of Be's IP by about 2 weeks IIRC. at the time i speculated about about what Palm's intention was in buying BE, and then hiring an executive from ATT to run the software division that they were about to spin off. but i guess its only news now.

    see this article [wired.com] for a more complete info on Palm's strategic maneuvers and speculation as to their intent.
