Much like Pixel phones and other standard Android devices, Googlebook can receive new features rapidly through standalone app updates or Google Play Services, bypassing the need to wait for major OS overhauls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 data-path-to-node=\"6\">\u003Cstrong data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Looking Ahead\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Ahead of Googlebook's official debut, the early arrival of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplay.google.com\u002Fstore\u002Fapps\u002Fdetails?id=com.google.android.desktop.gpointer.app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Magic Pointer app\u003C\u002Fa> sets an interesting precedent.
