Microsoft has acquired a new company specialized in mobile technologies. MobiComp, which is based in Portugal, has created technologies allowing the backup and restoration of mobile data and mobile posting of social content to Web sites such as Facebook.

MobiComp, the latest acquisition of Microsoft, is known for its applications MobileKeeper Backup & Restore, MobileKeeper Sharing & Communities, and Active mTicker. These services help mobile operators and people around the world back up personal content stored on a phone, publish updates to online communities, and get entertainment and news content delivered to phones.

The company is based in Portugal, but it has partners and customers worldwide, including 11 mobile operators. Microsoft didn’t disclosed the financial terms of the acquisition. However, the company said that MobiComp’s products will be used to extend the capabilities of Windows Mobile and Windows Live.

The acquisition of MobiComp follows after earlier this year, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Danger, the makers of the homonym platform which runs on Sidekick devices.

Danger was founded in December 1999 and it is focused on developing the Danger mobile Internet platform, which is a Java-compatible, client/server software infrastructure and application suite that delivers an easy-to-use, personalized experience.

The company is especially for its Sidekick devices sold in the US by T-Mobile, in the United Kingdom under the T-Mobile Sidekick Slide brand and in Australia as the hiptop Slide from Telstra.

The Danger devices are manufactured by Sharp and Motorola. Danger was  added to Microsoft Entertainment and Devices division

Last year Microsoft had bought the French company Musiwave, a provider of mobile music entertainment services to operators and media companies.

Musiwave is responsible for a variety of products and services such as MODS (Music on Demand Service) a solution based upon Musiwave's Music Player, SDC’s Java DRM solution, and Coding Technology's AAC+ optimized audio codec. The service works on Symbian devices such as Siemens SX1, Nokia 3650, 3660, N-Gage and other Series 60 handsets.
