Barcelona - Microsoft announced that it has acquired MotionBridge, a France-based provider of mobile search technology and navigation services, for an undisclosed sum. Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft will obtain MotionBridge's operator partnerships (T-Mobile, Orange, Sprint and O2 Ltd., among others) and its flagship technology, which provides clustered results and "deep links" to downloadable content from multiple providers. MotionBridge was founded in 2000 and later funded by Siemens Mobile Acceleration.
