- cpeterso 15y agoAnd then Palm acquired BeOS IP in 2001 for $11 million.
- RexRollman 15y agoAnd did nothing with it! They eventually sold the IP to an asian company that, as far as I know, also did nothing with it. That's why I fear for WebOS and its future. It seems like once an operating system is sold to another company, it often just dies. The one success story that comes to my mind is Nextstep, which became Mac OS X, but I think that its success has more to do with Steve Jobs than anything.
