QNX is the OS that coems on the iOpener. Its a small modular graphical OS
that you can boot from a 1.44 meg floppy.
BeOS is a somewhat larger OS - it's very unix like with an integrated GUI
and a modern C++ API.
QNX is designed mostly for the embedded market. BeOS is more a desktop OS,
although there is a light version of it that is designed to compete in the
Internet Applience market.
