I'm really interested to see what their plan is after also acquiring Sunrise recently. It seems like they're not actually changing these services much, and I'm fascinated to see how they actually integrate them with their businesses.
While not always the case, microsoft seems to be going down a rare acquisition path: actually integrating the acquired company into their offerings.
A case in point is Acompli. It was an android app that I absolutely love and after Microsoft acquired them, I was scared that they will discontinue the app but they simply rebranded the Acompli app as the Microsoft Outlook for Android app and only did minor tweaks to the application.
I wouldn't be surprise if they integrate all their recent acquisitions into a full PDA-suite of applications for your mobile.
This. The mobile equivalent of Office is not Office Mobile, but a combination of killer email, to-do and calendar apps. I really like Microsoft's direction under Nadella.
In outlook desktop, the navigation options are: Mail, Calendar, People, Tasks, Notes, Folders, Shortcuts.
They just bought a Mail, Calendar, and Tasks app. They have OneNote, and Folders and Shortcuts don't translate into apps. Looks like they still need a People app to manage contacts better.
