BeIA

BeIA, or 'BeOS for Internet Appliances' was a cut down version of Be, Incorporated's BeOS for use on embedded devices.

BeIA is believed by many to be partially responsible for the death of Be, Inc., as sales were never anywhere near as high as anticipated. However, a number of companies still used BeIA.

During 2001, a Zanussi 'internet fridge' toured the US with a BeIA powered DT-300 webpad docked in its door.
