Here is the latest report that Facebook acquires the iOS and Mac Developer Acrylic according to sources. We haven’t a clear statement from Facebook about this acquisition.
But Acrylic’s member Dustin McDonald have just mentioned on company’s site that “I’m happy to announce today that we’ve packed up our small Vancouver studio and will be making the move to San Francisco in the coming weeks to join the design team at Facebook.”
“For the past four years, we’ve worked tirelessly on creating truly awesome products with a focus on innovation and great design, and I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve been able to accomplish during that time.”
“Our flagship apps, Wallet and Pulp, have been used and loved by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Building these products has been a fun and exciting ride, but the time has come to move on to newer and bigger challenges.”
“Our products and services have not been acquired by Facebook, and while there are no plans for further development on them, Wallet and Pulp will continue to remain available for download and purchase in their current form. We’ll certainly be the first to let you know of any updates or changes here in the future.”
Facebook told us with a statement that “We can confirm that this is an acqui-hire, not an acquistion. No official statement at this time.”
