Palm rumored to have acquired 'PicassoGL' technology from Be

Imagine booting up your computer and when your desktop appears, you find
tall grass softly swaying from side-to-side and fog rolling across the
screen. Your trash can icon in its full 3-D splendor sits upright until a
sudden blast of wind blows it over, partially spilling its contents on to
the ground. All of this made possible by PicassoGL, an OpenGL-powered
app_server which brings 3-D imaging to ALL of your desktop computing
graphics, including the application windows, icons, and everything else. An
unnamed source reported Be was working on just such a monster when Palm
bought Be's intellectual property. What hath Palm bought?
