Essential announces the purchase of cloudmagic

It has been a long time since anything was known about Essential, Andy Rubin's company. With the development of its second phone canceled, everything seemed to be going wrong for the company. But, after months without knowing anything, they reappear announcing that they have bought CloudMagic. This is the company responsible for the Newton email app, which has recently disappeared.

Essential Announces Purchase of CloudMagic

A purchase with which it seems that the activity returns to the American company. Although at the moment it is not known very well what their plans are with this company that they have just acquired. A decision that leaves many perplexed.

Essential purchases CloudMagic

A few months ago, in September, CloudMagic canceled the development of its Newton email app. At that time it had about 40, 000 users in total. Not much was known about the reasons, nor were clear dates given for the refund of user subscription fees. So this cancellation has not stood out for having been well managed. Meanwhile, the phone company announces the purchase.

Essential has already confirmed the operation. Although no details have been given about it. The amount they have had to pay to get CloudMagic, for example, is unknown.

We also have no data on what Essential plans to do with the company. The cancellation of his second phone has made it clear that the company is not working well. It is unknown what direction they are going to take now that they have become CloudMagic owners. Will they bet on the software?
