Google has just acquired Sparrow, the team behind one of the most popular Mac and iPhone mail applications.
The five-person Sparrow team will join the Gmail team, according a blog post from CEO Dom Leca.
The Sparrow app is one of the most critically acclaimed iPhone apps out there. It's smart, move for Google to grab good design talent.
Interestingly, Sparrow only works on iOS and Mac. There is no Android Sparrow application.
Google's own attempt at a Gmail app for iPhone was a woeful dud. We expect the Gmail app to get better, if the Sparrow team will be working on it. Hopefully, the Sparrow app won't get worse.
