Google recently announced that it will not allow access to the application site for Android operating system free of charge, which means that the most popular operating system in the world will be different from what it is now.
The main reason applications are not available on Play Store and other Google applications may be the huge $ 5 billion EU imposed on Google for violating antitrust conditions earlier this year.
So far, the operating system for smart phones and tablets comes with a number of applications, all of which are free, according to the Independent.
But starting late this month, October 29, all Android devices to be launched in Europe will be subject to new license fees.
"Although the Android operating system will remain free and open source, the company will include a new licensing agreement for smart phones and mobile devices sold in Europe, which will be a payment agreement," said Hiroshi Lockheimer, a senior Google official.
He pointed out that all the services that were provided by Google in the system Chrome and the search system in Google previously helped to finance the process of development and free distribution of Android, "noting that this is now in place.
What this means is that apps that came preloaded on smartphones would be quite different. Instead of containing Chrome and Google, there would probably be completely different applications.
This change will be good news for other web browsing applications, which may replace Chrome in new phones.
While more than 80 percent of smartphones in the world use the Android operating system, it will not change much now probably.
It is not yet clear whether this will apply to other Google applications from Gmail, but that is what we will certainly know by early November.
