Brazil is sort of a strange country to throw into the emerging market category. Its not a particularly young country like India or Israel, nor is it a country like China or Russia that embraced capitalism fairly recently. Brazil is as old as the US and has had a decently built out infrastructure of things like roads and phone lines for some time.

Last month, Google acquired reMail, the startup behind a very powerful application that brought full-text search to the iPhone. That’s great news for the reMail team, but it had a major downside: Google was effectively killing off the product by removing it from the App Store (though it would continue to function for users that had already downloaded the app). Fortunately, today comes news that reMail will continue to live on in some form: the company has just announced that it’s open sourcing the product. You can find the Google Code site for the project here.

And starting today, they’re doing the same for Android.
