It will be interesting to see how things turn out.
I guess that you think the prototypes that Compaq has been showing are bogus; as well as the performance specs. But I guess that Compaq is not a big enough name to make a show. Interesting how 3COM is choosing another OS for there appliances, I guess that PalmOS did not scale well to more functionality.
It is interesting how everyones perception of Be is so superficial. Be switched there efforts to BeIA and has not seen revenue from this until devices such as Compaq's start getting into the market. This is when there revenue stream will start up again. Look a little deeper.
BeOS has the most viable package out there for Internet Appliances. QNX is playing catchup (Bad Security) and WinCE well lets not go there.
BeOS will hopefully pick up again when there revenue stream from BeIA starts making the BeOS effort more viable again.
BTW: I do not work for Be.
