Microsoft Takes Control of Portuguese Mobile Data Company
In a bid to flesh out the services available on Windows Mobile and Windows Live, Microsoft has revealed its plan to acquire the Portuguese mobile software developer MobiComp.
Microsoft hopes the acquisition will further its mobile ambitions, particularly in building new mobile data protection and sharing services, the company said in a statement. The company also plans to use MobiComp to further expand its ability to provide compelling software that can be used for work and play with mobile phones, PCs and the Internet.
MobiComp has developed an array of products: MobileKeeper Backup & Restore, MobileKeeper Sharing & Communities, and Active mTicker. These products are used by companies to back up data stored on mobile phones, submit content from mobile phones to social networks like Facebook, and access news and other mobile media.
"Investing in the right solutions from companies like MobiComp will extend the capabilities of Windows Mobile and Windows Live to help us provide the most innovative and seamless way to stay connected," Todd Peters, VP of Microsoft's mobile communications business, said in a statement.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. MobiComp, founded in 2000, will become part of Microsoft's Mobile Communications Business division, once the acquisition is closed.
