Google has reportedly acquired Bitspin, the Swiss company best known for its beautifully designed Android alarm clock app-Timely. Bitspin-announced the move this week in a blog post, seeking to assure users that the acquisition won't mean Timely is winding down anytime soon: "For new and existing users, Timely will continue to work as it always has," the Bitspin team's blog post reads. That's good news for those Timely fans like-The Verge's Dan Seifert who found the app's "clean design and fun animations make it a joy to use." And given Google's precedent for-acquiring and killing off or-neglecting beloved services, the assurance of continued operations is certainly a welcome one.
