I think it might be this: http://www.access-company.com/. They were a Linux
focused company in Japan that went on a pretty big shopping spree and are
very, very focused on the Japanese mobile market - see here for their
relationship with Palm -

Im going to check it out too. I don't see it really going any place unless
they can make it mind numbingly easy to install and use and there are good
enough applications. That's something that eluded Be. A couple of pretty
good shareware type apps came out for BeOS that had the makings of something
substantial.
