Kelly McNeill writes “Fans of the Be operating system let out a sigh of relief and a sigh of frustration after the up-and-down roller coaster that was Be, Inc. came to an official end. The end came with last Tuesday’s announcement by Be that its stockholders approved the sale of substantially all its intellectual property and other assets to a subsidiary of Palm. Although the sale of Be to Palm was met with enthusiasm by its investors, it could not have come at a more awkward time for the company, as the decision was confirmed only a couple days after Palm’s chief executive — Carl Yankowski — announced his resignation.”
