Sunrise calendar is getting snapped up by Microsoft for "at least $100 million." The calendar app, which integrates sources diverse as Google Calendar and Trello project management and is available on Android, iOS, OS X, and the web, has carved out a niche for itself on the devices of many users.
According to TechCrunch, Microsoft's plans for Sunrise are varied:
We've heard Microsoft will keep its apps alive as stand-alone products, while using some of its technology for its own future products. That's similar to what it did with Acompli, which Microsoft acquired for $200 million.

Here's a quick look at what Sunrise does — though we have no word if Microsoft plans to bring the app or any of its features to Windows or Windows Phone:
