That royally stinks
Sparrow was an *exceptional* application. Now they've purchased it and are killing it off. Now we lose a really terrific desktop/mobile client, and given how absolutely terrible Gmail for iOS and Gmail for Android is, it's pretty sad.

Isn't that why they bought them ? Maybe they realised that their App should be filed under G (for garbage) and maybe they want to make it better by buying the competition, and using them to improve their own products.

Who says they are killing it?

They didn't say they were going to kill it, he's just upset that Apple didn't buy it
