image created from the crushed files. Crushing was the term coined for the compression of the system using CELF format. BeIA can run either as CELF or ELF based. However, it can only use one or the other file formats. Versions The following BeIA versions were released to developers at stages of the development of the system. Pre 1.0 build - reports to be 4.5.2, this is likely a hang over from the BeOS version. Pre numbering of BeIA. 1.0 beta 9 (uncrushed binaries are compatible with Release Candidate) 1.0 Release Candidate (circa the clipper) 1.0 2.0 History 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. During 2001, a Zanussi "internet fridge" toured the US with a BeIA powered DT-300 webpad docked in its door. List of BeIA devices Sony eVilla - sold as a home web terminal with BeIA preloaded Compaq IA-1 - sold with either BeIA or MSN Companion.
