Google buys BumpTop 3D desktop

Search titan Google has confirmed the acquisition of the company BumpTop.

BumpTop, the maker of a 3D desktop announced last Friday that they have been bought by Google for an undisclosed sum. the start-up created by Canadians is known for its 3D interface that replaces the Windows desktop or Mac OS. since October 2009, it was even compatible with Windows 7 multitouch, making an attractive product for the shelves.

The solution has no application to the “cloud”, which is based on most products of Google. the only use of this software for the company in Mountain View would be to incorporate them in one of its OS so as to offer them with the next tablet. Apple is also working on a similar concept since 2008, but has not yet implemented.

BumpTop has decided to leave the program for free download until Friday, May 7.

“Today we have a big announcement to make,” says the development team of BumpTop on their official website. He added: “We have been bought by Google! this means that BumpTop (for Windows and Mac) are no longer available for sale. Also, no update is planned products. It remains to know what Google plans to make this new acquisition, and the Web already speculating on a future integration with the Android OS or Chrome.”
