All the new apps offer seamless syncing across multiple platforms, making it easy to pick up and carry on across multiple operating systems.

It’s a smart move from Microsoft; the company is still struggling to find the sort of mobile momentum with Windows Phone that Android and iOS have achieved, so making the apps available on rival platforms to get users familiar with the services makes sense. Whether or not this translates to more mobile users on its own platform in the long-run remains to be seen.
