Google Buys reMail, Kills iPhone App

Yesterday it was announced that Google is buying reMail a localized high-speed email search service, and now as part of that deal, founder Gabor Cselle has posted that they're killing the reMail iPhone app, effective immediately [iTunes link dead].

So now we not only have Apple not approving Google apps like Google Voice, we have Google buying companies and killing iPhone apps like reMail? Will this be like Twitter competitor, Jaiku, never heard from again, or will it be integrated into some future Gmail service and we'll get a Google-ized version back on our iPhones one day?

Luckily, the Apple/Google relationship is still steady, steady, steady, right?
