Tech News : Google streams apps to Android handsets.

 

This looks a really encouraging move.

 

Excerpt from the Link "Google has started streaming apps to Android phones so people can use them even if they are not installed on a handset.
It said it had introduced the technology to help people get better results when they search.
Often, it said in a blogpost, the best answers to a query were found in an app rather than a web page.
Initially nine apps have been selected to work with the streaming system as it is tested."

 

"Streamed versions of apps are available via Google's own app and on its Chrome browser. Users must also be on a fast wi-fi connection and be using a handset running Android Lollipop or a more recent version. Lollipop was released in November 2014."

 

The only current snag for us U.K users is " The test of the app streaming and search responses is currently only taking place in the US. Google has not said when, or if, it will be expanded to other parts of the world." 😏
