  237. FOR NEXT-GENERATION INTERNET APPLIANCES</p>
  238. <p>New BeIA Software Platform to Incorporate Gemplus Smart Card Readers;<br />
  239. To Deliver Security and Mobility to Today's Internet Appliances</p>
  240. <p>REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 26, 2000 - Gemplus, the world's leading<br />
  241. provider of smart card solutions, and Be Incorporated (NASDAQ: BEOS),<br />
  242. the platform innovator that enables rich media and Web experiences on<br />
  243. Internet appliances and personal computers, today announced support<br />
  244. for Gemplus' GemCoreTM smart card reader technology for BeIA, Be's<br />
  245. software platform for Internet appliances.  This implementation of an<br />
  246. integrated BeIA commerce solution allows any Internet appliance<br />
  247. vendor to easily offer smart card services to their customers. As a<br />
  248. result, users of these next-generation devices will be able to<br />
  249. seamlessly extend their Internet information or entertainment<br />
  250. experiences to include secure shopping.</p>
  251. <p>Internet appliances represent the next technology wave of the post-PC<br />
  252. era and are destined to bring the richest possible Web experience to<br />
  253. today's savvy consumers. A recent IDC report forecasts the worldwide<br />
  254. Information Appliance market to grow from 11 million units and $2.4<br />
  255. billion in 1999 to a market of 89 million units and $17.8 billion in<br />
  256. 2004, a compounded annual growth of 52  percent.  By making smart<br />
  257. card technology an integral part of the foundation of the Internet<br />
  258. appliance's platform, the two partnering companies are helping define<br />
  259. support for e-commerce transactions as a critical core standard for<br />
  260. this rapidly emerging market.</p>
  261. <p>The proliferation of electronic commerce transactions has also<br />
  262. spurred the need for increased security, where end-user trust has<br />
  263. become paramount.  Smart card technology provides all of the tools<br />
  264. essential for consumer confidence, fraud protection and broad-based<br />
  265. acceptance.  Leveraging the security, portability and simplicity of<br />
  266. the smart card, Gemplus is developing solutions and technologies that<br />
  267. allow today's consumers to conduct their electronic commerce<br />
  268. transactions with confidence.  By working with Be, Gemplus is helping<br />
  269. to build the infrastructure for smart card-secured electronic<br />
  270. commerce in the new generation of Internet appliances.</p>
  271. <p>"We are pleased to be working with Be to bring to the marketplace<br />
  272. Internet appliances that are smart card-ready," said Remy de Tonnac,<br />
  273. president, Gemplus Americas.  "Be's innovation and proven expertise<br />
  274. in delivering next-generation functionality on today's Internet<br />
  275. appliance technology will not only propel the market forward but will<br />
  276. help us set the benchmark for secure, value-added e-commerce<br />
  277. services."</p>
  278. <p>Introduced in February 2000, BeIA? is a software platform for<br />
  279. Internet appliances that deliver information and entertainment over<br />
  280. the Internet. BeIA is a device-independent platform for post-PC era<br />
  281. lifestyle devices focused on the personalization of multimedia and<br />
  282. information-rich products that enhance a user's life.</p>
  283. <p>"Internet appliances are rapidly becoming an accepted companion for<br />
  284. both work and play," said Jean-Louis Gasse, Be's chairman and chief<br />
  285. executive officer. "As a leader in the smart card industry, Gemplus<br />
  286. will help extend the transparency of technology to include secure<br />
  287. e-commerce which will further the interest in these exciting new<br />
  288. devices. It's too early to say if this integrated technology will<br />
  289. become an electronic extension of one's credit card, but with<br />
  290. Gemplus, all the components are now in place."</p>
