Purple Labs bought by Esmertec/Myriad

[Dave Neary <dneary gnome org>]

Hi all,

This might be old news for some of you, but I just noticed that Purple
Labs, purveyors of a Linux-based software platform, members of LiMo and
prospective participants in the GNOME Mobile ecosystem, got bought by a
company called Esmertec (also a LiMo member), and the whole thing
renamed Myriad:

The former CEO of Purple Labs becomes the CEO of Myriad, leading me to
wonder if this is one of those acquisitions where we'll be left
wondering who acquired who...

Cheers,
Dave.
