What can this be? A new operating system for the BE300? Well, almost. I was running an image search on Google.com and accidently ran across this image. Upon further investigation, I was able to find out that this was posted by a company called "App Forge". I placed a phonecall to App Forge and spoke with "Sonny", a tech rep. He informed me that they build framworks for handheld devices. These frameworks are called "runtimes". These runtimes are built unit specific, meaning that it has to be made for each device. These runtimes are used to run any software created with the "App Forge booster". There was some experimentation done with the BE300 as a potential candidate for runtime framework usage. Unfortunately there were not enough corporations interested in development for the BE300, so the project was scrubbed in late 2001. Another lost opportunity for the BE300.
