Google buys iPhone app company to kill it

By George Ou 18 February 2010 No Comment

Google was quite upset that Apple didn’t approve of their Google Voice application on the iPhone due to the fact that Apple didn’t like Google replacing some core Apple iPhone functionality.  Now it seems that Google has just bought one of the best email applications on the iPhone called reMail only to kill it on the iPhone and probably bring it to Google Android.

It would seem that competition in mobile phone platforms is alive and intense and it will all play itself out, and it doesn’t seem that government intervention is necessary even of some of the decisions may seem to be poor.  Companies need to have the freedom to err in order to have the freedom to innovate.
