To be honest, I’m quite surprised that Google haven’t approached this idea sooner, however now, according to reports, Google are now lining up their own online music store, which no doubt they are hoping will give Apple iTunes a run for its money.
Reports say that Google’s VP of Engineering, Andy Rubin, has been in touch with various record labels proposing the idea which he hopes will be ready by Christmas, although it would seem that at the moment no deal has been agreed.
So, perhaps we will see yet another Google vs. Apple battle – however Google will have to step up a gear and get some major record labels on board if they are hoping to have this service up and running by Christmas time.
