Resurrecting BeIA

Did you ever wonder what BeIA really was? A lot of people talked about BeIA back in the days Be, Inc. was still developing its OS for internet appliances, but after Be, Inc. closed its doors, BeIA vanished as well. A thread over on the Haiku discussion forums - which began as a talking point for how Haiku could recreate a BeIA style concept - turned in to a treasure trove of BeIA information, including examples of BeIA running and an overview of some of the process of building BeIA distributions.

This video shows it all in action, including BeIA running under emulation. There's also a wonderful video shot in Be, Inc's offices where a Hungarian UG member gets a tour and shown BeIA hardware, with terrible framerate and resolution, but well worth checking out.
