Google announced at the end of April that they had acquired a Swedish company called Marratech. We all expected that they would eventually add that into the Google Pack, Google Apps or at least into Google Talk. Marratech is a downloadable application for PC's and Mac's that apparently Google has no plans to develop. A tipster wrote into Andy Beal and and forwarded a link to the Marratech forums, where ex Marratech employee, now with Google, Rikard Stenberg stated that Google has the rights to the application but there will be no further developments of the old Marratech products.
That is all the information that came through. And it does seem a little disturbing. Hopefully Google does have a nice plan for this application, but if it doesn't and decides to let developments slide, things could end up like Dodgeball.
