The acquisition adds operating system platform expertise and Linux development resources to Access's existing "content delivery and Internet access software" for mobile devices, the companies said.

Oh man. I've been waiting for this one.
I figured they were positioning to sell, but geeesss I -never- would have guessed on a buyer. Especially this one, and for $324 million? Geees! PalmSource is going to be laughing all the way to the bank on that one.
No way that company is worth 324 million when Be was bargian-basement at 51. I mean, they haven't even released anything meaningfull in the last um... how long? PalmOS has become essentially irrelevant in the market space they helped pioneer. Pathetic.
At least Be wasn't beaten at the game they created.
