Is the recent acquisition of Bumptop going to make its way to Android in some shape or form anytime soon? This week is your last chance to pick up a copy of BumpTop, the 3-D Desktop for Mac and Windows.

So it’s delayed, it’s not that big of a deal. Features found in the Nexus phone that are missing will be a nice addition, but the big news is flash support is coming. But flash is client side, so I wonder how well that will work on the droid hardware? Even if it renders just fine, is flash the right direction?

The Nexus One was released today! Built by HTC, the unlocked version is $530 (the phone works with “nearly all” GSM SIM cards, according to Google) or you can pay $180 for the typical two-year contract with T-Mobile. if you already have tmob service, but don’t have a data plan, it will cost $280 for the phone. Google says there will be other carriers and plans coming sometime in the future. I think the arrival of the Google phone pretty much spells the end for the Droid.

I joke, I joke, but what will they do? Perhaps it will just mean an even cheaper price point as microsoft takes a loss like they did with the original Xbox. When netbooks first came out, they only ran Linux, and microsoft got scared and changed their mind about ditching XP. It’s too bad the consumer demand for XP over Vista never influenced their decision. That would be out of character for microsoft.
