now officially posted word that it has bought Sunrise and that video has gone live once again.</p> <p><strong>Original story</strong>: Microsoft has now
confirmed earlier reports that it has acquired the
Sunrise calendar app. The company did this via a video on its YouTube channel which has since been set as "private". It shows Pierre Valade, the co-founder of Sunrise, being interviewed by Microsoft's "chief storyteller" Steve Clayton. The video also features Javier Soltero, the co-founder of another company Microsoft recently acquired, Acompli, which created the new Outlook email app for iOS and Android.</p> <!--break--> <p><a href='

He feels that such an app could be used for every part of a person's life, rather than just for work.</p> <p>Earlier reports claim that Microsoft paid about $100 million for Sunrise, but the company has not confirmed those estimates, nor has it issued any kind of official press release.</p> <p>Source:
