Google's Gmail app for iOS, when compared to Gmail for Android, is a disappointment. But that might shortly change with Google's ultimate merger - Sparrow .
On Friday, Sparrow's CEO Dom Leca voiced in a blog post that Google has purchased the young but successful firm well known for iOS and OS X email clients. Sparrow's program looks and functions more similar to amicable networking apps than normal email clients.
Sparrow, that done its entrance back in February 2011 with a desktop app, rocketed to the tip container amid paid and grossing apps in its initial day on sale, and has remained renouned on Macs and iPhones ever since. Google officials wouldn't criticism on how sufficient it paid for Sparrow , a small, five-employee company, but the Verge did inform that it was "under $25 million."
"We caring a lot about how people communicate, and you did the most appropriate to give you with the most discerning and silken mailing experience," Leca write in his blog post. "Now we're fasten the Gmail group to achieve a bigger prophesy - a that you regard you can improved achieve with Google."
What precisely that prophesy is, Google and Sparrow haven't said. In a matter emailed to Wired, Google mentioned the startup well known for its elementary and discerning apps would be working on "new projects," but declined to detailed over that.
While Sparrow is fasten the Gmail team, the Sparrow apps aren't deceased yet. "While we'll be working on new things at Google, you will go on to make Sparrow existing and give encouragement for the users," Leca wrote.
Expecting Sparrow to final forever, or let go leading new versions of its apps as standalone products, would be genuine since that Google is evidently focused on Android. And Google does have a gusto for shutting down projects that do not describe to its core businesses. The future doesn't look flushed for hardcore Sparrow fans.
