BeIA information


BeIA (BeOS for Internet Appliances) is a discontinued operating system for embedded systems, developed by Be Inc. from 2000 to 2001. It was a minimized version of their BeOS operating system and was developed for the x86 and PowerPC architectures.[1]

The BeIA system presents a browser-based interface to the user. The browser was based on the Opera 4.0 code base,[2] but most of times it featured built-in dashboard (like Sony eVilla), and was named Wagner.[3] Unlike the BeOS, which runs the Tracker and Deskbar at boot-up, the BeIA OS boots straight into the Opera browser interface (only on Compaq IA-1, similar as the later ChromeOS does with the Google Chrome browser). While it is possible to boot BeIA into an interface similar to the standard BeOS, doing so involves special knowledge.[citation needed]

During 2001, a Zanussi "internet fridge" toured the US with a BeIA powered DT-300 webpad docked in its door.[citation needed]

BeIA was discontinued after Be Inc's assets were sold to Palm, Inc.,[4] with BeIA not able to help the company's financial situation[5] and the failure of the Sony eVilla.[6]
