Google: Now Tap Mobile Apps without downloading them




We all have experienced times while using our smart phones when we need to get a work done or check some information as small as horoscopes and we need to first download an app for doing so though we will be requiring that app for that particular moment and in doing so we waste some MBs of data, space on our smart phones and some precious time. But now the Mountain View Company Google is all set to change this, soon you will be able to use an app without downloading it.  

The tech giant Google, in an attempt to extend its search and advertising reach on smart phones, it has unveiled a new technology that will enable the users to search inside an app and even use the apps without having to download them.

Here's how it works: If you search for, say, a cheap hotel using Google's app on a smart phone powered by the company's Android software, it will show you search results from around the Web like normal. But there will also be information from apps like Hotel Tonight, the San Francisco-based app for booking last-minute rooms. If you tap a button, Google will open up the app so you can book a room, even if you don't have it installed on your phone.

This new tech might come as a great relief to people who hate installing an app for one particular task and then the app lies on the Smartphone without any specific usage. To get this thing done Google streams a video to your smart phone using the Internet and during this time the app runs many miles away in a computer.

Google is able to stream these apps thanks to technology it acquired last year from a start-up called Agawi. Technically, Google isn't really giving you access to apps. It feels like you're in the program, but the company is actually streaming you a high-resolution video that you can tap and scroll like a normal app.
