Google buys reMail, kills it

Google Remail

Continuing it’s shopping spree, Google announced today it will acquire reMail, an e-mail based startup. Announced by founder Gabor Cselle, who was formerly part of the Gmail team, Google will bring Cselle back to the Gmail team as a Product Manager. On the iPhone, reMail is arguably the best e-mail app with advanced compression and full text search. However, with the purchase by Google, reMail will be discontinued from the iPhone and the app will be pulled from the App Store, which is another shot in the Google vs. Apple war. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The $429 base model gets a 2.2GHz Celeron 900 processor, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and the downside, Windows Vista Home Basic. If you’re willing to smack down 200 more bills, coming in at $629, the dubbed performance package buys you a 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo T6670, 3GB of DDR2 RAM, a 320GB hard drive, Windows 7 Professional, dual-layer DVD burner, 2 megapixel webcam, integrated WiFi, GMA 4500MHD graphics and a 6-cell battery. This machine is stylish, surprisingly well equipped, and best of all affordable.

Google Chrome: Google’s Web browser

As you may know, Google owns the Internet or at least wants to. However, they seem to have stumbled into a roadblock because a certain company (Microsoft) owns a significant amount of marketshare of a certain web browser (Internet Explorer). So if you’re Google, what do you do? You release your own browser and hope in a few years it’ll knock your competition down to its knees. Well, that’s exactly what Google did today with the release of Google Chrome. Based on the Safari web-kit, Google Chrome is very speedy and lightweight.
