BEOS...News and more deals... ======== BE SELECTED BY QUBIT AS STANDARD PLATFORM FOR NEW WIRELESS INTERNET APPLIANCE BUSINESS EDITORS/HIGH-TECH WRITERS MENLO PARK, CALIF., AND DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DEC. 21, 1999--BE INCORPORATED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MENLO PARK, Calif., and DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 21, 1999--Be Incorporated (Nasdaq: BEOS.O) today announced Qubit Technology's selection of Be's software platform for Internet Appliances, code-named Stinger, for its forthcoming wireless Web Tablet. Qubit selected Be for the completeness of its offering, its unrivaled Internet and media handling capabilities and the full range of complementary application and integration services available. Under the terms of the agreement, Be will also deliver custom interface design services for Qubit's Web Tablet. Additionally, the companies are engaged in collaborative sales, marketing and development efforts. Qubit is working with organizations that include financial and telecommunications companies who are expected to bring these devices to market. Qubit expects to deliver the first devices under the agreement in the second quarter of 2000. "Our agreement with Qubit represents the first implementation of the National Semiconductor WebPAD(TM) reference design we announced in November," said Steve Sakoman, chief technical officer and general manager of Be's Internet Appliance efforts. "Stinger is the ideal complement to Qubit's wireless Web Tablet, offering third parties a highly adaptable and easily configurable solution with a substantial time-to-market advantage." "Be is ahead of the competition in delivering a full Internet experience," said David L. Armitage, president and CEO of Qubit Technology. "Our new relationship with Be solidifies Qubit's 'no compromise attitude' towards the Internet experience and gives us the opportunity to provide wireless Internet solutions with the support of an industry leader." Stinger is Be's software solution designed for the creation of appliances that deliver information and entertainment over the web. Based on BeOS, Stinger is fully customizable, offers a complete browser and supports popular streaming audio and video standards. Roughly the size of a magazine, Qubit's Web Tablet delivers Internet access from anywhere in the user's home without the complications often associated with personal computers. These devices can be used to browse the Internet, along with basic applications such as email, messaging and home scheduling and address books. The tablet incorporates a 10.4-inch, 800x600 color LCD display with a high-resolution touch screen and a stand on the back of the tablet for easy tabletop viewing. The cradle and tablet are designed to keep countertop sprawl to a minimum, taking up less than six by 12 inches. The lightweight tablet weighs less than two and a half pounds and features built-in high-quality stereo speakers and a microphone. A wireless infrared keyboard is also included.
