<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Bump top turns the desktop into a three-dimensional space, users can arrange things more naturally and creatively. They can pile things up, just like they can on a physical desk. </em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And the big news is that big daddy Google has acquired this wonderful application today, so chances are that soon you will see 3D facelift to Android phones or may be we will see 3D desktop interface in Chrome Plateform.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">BumpTop launched its first productabout a year ago.

<p style="text-align: justify;">This is how my Desktop look with BumpTop</p>
