Palm has announced a definitive agreement to purchase Actual Software Corporation, a provider of e-mail solutions for the Palm OS platform and the provider of the MultiMail line of products.
The acquisition is the second for Palm as an independent company, following last week`s announcement of Palm`s agreement to acquire Internet-calendar company Anyday.com.
"Palm is committed to delivering robust, industry-leading communications capabilities to our customers," says Alan Kessler, COO, Platform and Products, for Palm. "This acquisition brings Palm not only world-class e-mail clients and conduits today, but also some of the industry`s top talent and engineering expertise to help us drive the development of next-generation handheld mail and messaging solutions.
"The acquisition accelerates our momentum in offering customers significant improvements in handheld computing and communications capabilities, whether through our own technology development, acquisition, or combinations of both."
Palm intends to offer integrated solutions that include Actual Software`s client and conduit technology to deliver enhanced e-mail solutions across its entire product line.
