Microsoft focuses increasingly on “productivity apps for iOS and Android. The acquisition of mailapp Acompli there suits.
Microsoft bought the often praised emailapp Acompli. The mailapp for iOS and Android received much praise in recent months, due to the fast way messages from the email servers of both Microsoft (Exchange) and Google (Gmail) can handle. Microsoft paid according to Re / code more than $ 200 million for Acompli.
By swiping your email
Purpose the quiet Acompli is designed to let you do more with email on your smartphone than just reading. The app makes it easy to take action immediately. By quickly swiping on the subject line of an email is the message from your inbox to your archive. Remove mails continues to slowly sweep across. Acompli also offers a ‘view to see under each email conversations as a thread.
Acompli offers more than just e-mail: You can also manage your calendar, contacts and attachments. For example if you want to schedule an appointment with someone with whom you mail, you can click directly on the calendar icon. You do not leave your mail. And there are still plenty of other tricks in Acompli.
Outlook
The acquisition is easy to explain. Microsoft has its own email software Outlook and webmail service Outlook.com. With the purchase of Acompli example, Microsoft Outlook Apps for email and calendar on iOS and Android can improve significantly. This is necessary also. Outlook Web App already has an app, but that’s not great.
Office
Better integration between email and Office on mobile devices too obvious. Last month, Microsoft announced that use the Office apps for iOS and Android are free to edit documents. The company is considering the small market share of Windows Phone forced to focus his “productivity services’ increasingly on Android and iOS. Even within companies are mobile devices with these systems become more popular after all.
