It is interesting to consider Microsoft's putative strategy here which is that the mobile "OS" is still searching for the right mix of capabilities to completely replace laptops.
Ehh, Yahoo bought Astrid a while ago and closed it. The price wasn't announced, but I imagine they did well. My heart still pangs for the long-dead Astrid app, and I'm just that much less likely to use any Yahoo service because of that murder.

A case in point is Acompli. It was an android app that I absolutely love and after Microsoft acquired them, I was scared that they will discontinue the app but they simply rebranded the Acompli app as the Microsoft Outlook for Android app and only did minor tweaks to the application.
I wouldn't be surprise if they integrate all their recent acquisitions into a full PDA-suite of applications for your mobile.
They just bought a Mail, Calendar, and Tasks app. They have OneNote, and Folders and Shortcuts don't translate into apps. Looks like they still need a People app to manage contacts better.
