Report: Google Wants a Future Where Streaming Apps is a Possibilty

Don't Install That App Just Stream It

According to reports gathered, Google is secretly working towards a future where you don’t have to install apps on your phone anymore. Instead, users will be able to stream them, if you will, which Google hopes makes accessing services and accomplishing tasks easier.

This report claims that Google bought a company called Agawi.
Agawi, as you may know, specialized in streaming apps from the cloud to mobile devices.

Before it was acquired by Google, Agawi had companies like NVIDIA as its clients. While we aren’t sure what that relationship entailed, one could imagine that it potentially involved NVIDIA’s GRID gaming service, which is a game-streaming experience that doesn’t require users to install games, yet they can play with low latency as if they had.

This acquisition of Agawi could just be a way to do something as simple as allow you to try apps before you buy them. By streaming a trial version of an app, you would be able to give it some run without having to download it to your device. This could make it easier for developers to convince you that you should spend money on their apps or games.

This development will only benefit those regions with high speed internet service, but those with poor internet access, well, i cant figure out what will happen.
