From InfoWorld: Microsoft on Wednesday confirmed that it had purchased mobile calendar app maker Sunrise Atelier, the second major acquisition in the last 11 weeks of a developer experienced in creating Android and iOS apps.
Financial terms were not disclosed by either Microsoft or the privately-held Sunrise, although reports have circulated that the price tag was about $100 million.
The Sunrise purchase was Microsoft's second deal since Dec. 1, 2014, when it bought Acompli, the creator of the same-named email client for Android and iOS, for a reported $200 million.
"We are making this acquisition because we believe a reinvention in the way people use calendars on mobile devices is long overdue," said Rajesh Jha, head of Outlook and Office 365 at Microsoft, in a Wednesday blog announcing the Sunrise buy.
