Google acquires–then kills–iPhone email search app reMail
Google has acquired email search solutions provider reMail for an undisclosed sum and rehired the startup’s founder Gabor Cselle, one of the original members of the digital services giant’s Gmail team. Cselle–who will now serve as a Gmail product manager–wrote a post on his blog to announce the deal, adding “Google and reMail have decided to discontinue reMail’s iPhone application, and we have removed it from the App Store.” Cselle adds that reMail will continue to support the app at least through the end of March.
The reMail app enables iPhone users to index an entire e-mail account and run a full text search within all of their messages–some critics hailed the application as superior to the iPhone’s native email client. Conventional wisdom suggests that the decision to terminate such a highly-touted app represents just the latest salvo in Google’s escalating assault against Apple–earlier this week, Google announced its Android mobile OS will offer full support for Adobe Systems’ Flash multimedia platform after Apple spurned Flash support for its upcoming iPad tablet device.
