Google has acquired the popular Sparrow email client for OS X and iOS. The team will be working on new projects and there will be no new features released for the Sparrow apps.
--- We're excited to announce that Sparrow has been acquired by Google!
We care a lot about how people communicate, and we did our best to provide you with the most intuitive and pleasurable mailing experience.
Now we're joining the Gmail team to accomplish a bigger vision - one that we think we can better achieve with Google.
We'd like to extend a special thanks to all of our users who have supported us, advised us, given us priceless feedback and allowed us to build a better mail application. While we'll be working on new things at Google, we will continue to make Sparrow available and provide support for our users.
We had an amazing ride and can't thank you enough.
Full speed ahead!
Dom Leca CEO Sparrow ---

It's not good to buy out and kill each good company.

Google is going to buy up all of the good iOS developers so there is no one left to make good apps for iOS.
