Yet another day and the giant continues to acquire startups. Just a couple of days ago we did a post about Google’s 8 acquisitions in the first quarter of 2010. This time it’s BumpTop – a desktop customization application that brings in real-life simulation of your desk. I have used BumpTop and it’s a decent software. BumpTop is for Windows and Mac platforms and will be downloadable for one last week starting today at the official BumpTop site.

BumpTop just made an announcement about the acquisition –

Today, we have a big announcement to make: we’re excited to announce that we’ve been acquired by Google! This means that BumpTop (for both Windows and Mac) will no longer be available for sale. Additionally, no updates to the products are planned.

Although the valuation amount is not yet disclosed, the Wellington Financial Blog assumes it to be around $35-40 million. On the other hand we might as well start to think why Google would acquire a desktop replacement application. Are we about to witness a 3D desktop on Android OS? Or (just for the sake of an argument) a UI surprise for Chrome OS?

As for BumpTop, you still have one week to grab the client application and experience it yourself. BumpTop Pro users will have to validate their copy to avail end-of-life support.
