It's Alcatel-Lucent's second acquisition in 3 months and without a doubt, the company is trying to flex a little muscle in the mobile applications space. The company bought ProgrammableWeb, a well-known respository for web API's back in June and has just

announced the acquisition of OpenPlug for cross-platform mobile app development. With the acquisition of France-based OpenPlug, Alcatel-Lucent will provide tools enabling developers to develop and easily deploy mobile apps across multiple platforms. OpenPlug's solutions allow developers to write apps once and then convert them into native software, compatible with various mobile operating systems - including iOs, Android, Symbian, Windows Phone and Linux.
