Google buys city-guide app maker JetPac


Bangalore, Aug 16 (Reuters): Google Inc is buying JetPac Inc, the startup that designs social travel applications disclosed on its website on Friday, without providing details.

"We'll be removing Jetpac's apps from the App Store in the coming days, and ending support for them on 9/15," stated a posting on JetPac's homepage. 

San Francisco-based JetPac has created a mobile application that uses pictures from various social networking sites to create city guides.
