Stardate 20010830.1231 (On Screen): This is the last small tap on the headstone standing next to the grave where Be Inc is buried: Sony is ceasing to ship the eVilla, based on BeIA, just two months after releasing it. It remains to be seen what Palm does with Be's assets (both software and human). I still hold out hope that Palm will do with Be what Apple did with Next, and switch wholesale to the new code base which is superior to its own.
