Google Streaming Music Service Rumored By Fall
[Via CNET]
With the iTunes’ banner waving supremely over the digital music landscape, Google continues to build its own music service, CNET has learned.
According to multiple music industry sources, Google could launch a music service that offers song downloads and streaming music as early as this fall.
Google has already signaled that it wishes to give users of phones equipped with Google’s Android operating system a better music offering. At Google’s I/O conference last month, the search engine offered attendees a demonstration of a Web-based iTunes competitor. Also TechCrunch reported two weeks ago that it discovered a “Google Music” logo hosted on Google’s domain.
But Google’s plans go beyond Android, say music sector insiders. CNET has learned that Google first stoked excitement among executives at some of the top four major labels during the Consumer Electronics Show in January. That’s where they revealed some of the features that a Google music store might include, such as tying digital downloads and streaming music to Google’s search results.
Google did not respond to interview requests.

As big as Google is and with as much money as they have I do not believe they can ever catch up to Apple. That does not mean that Google cannot have a profitable business model but Apple is the master of connecting things that work in a way that makes folks loyal. Folks are able to easily plug it in and enjoy it immediately, hassle free and it works for a long time, without problems. I'd bet a lot of Google employees have an iPhone or iPod and will likely keep them! I would not change easily, it would take something more dramatic than I can imagine at this point, in fact, I think I will perhaps go get in line for the new iPhone!
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize halve of them are stupider than that.
