OnLive: The Potential Other Shoe
April 1st, 2009 | by Rob Enderle
The OnLive offering, basically a high-performance cloud-based console gaming platform that was announced last month, promises to go farther than either Apple or Google have yet gone, but they are clearly within Google's budget and sights at the moment. Were Google able to provide this level of back-end performance on their, let's call them Smartclient, devices, we could have what amounts to a performance game changer and the potential for a broad-based PC revolution. We know that the cloud will play a huge role in the next computing wave and OnLive represents the cloud on steroids.
Assuming OnLive performs as promised, if Google were to buy or emulate OnLive across their platform it would give both Apple and Microsoft cold sweats.
