Another week brings another acquisition. Google announced on their Lat/Long blog that they have acquired ImageAmerica. ImageAmerica builds high resolution cameras and is based in Missouri.

The ImageAmerica website is already a generic Google acquisition page similar to what we've seen with other acquisitions like Zenter.
