Android's Rumoured Music Store a Picture Closer to Being Reality

15 Jan, 2011, 12:02 pm IST | by Padmini Harchandrai |

Google's Android has been planning to have its own cloud based music service a la iTunes for a while now. Recently, a picture emerged showing a screen shot of a syncing list in what looks like a Gingerbread build. Among syncing contact and Picasa albums, there is also an option for syncing music. While many third party applications available in the marketplace already provide music services, this picture hints that Android will have its own music software integrated into the device.

Even without a music store itself, the synchronization aspect could imply over the air synchronization. At Google's I/O last year, they demonstrated technology that would allow Android users to stream music from their desktop PCs directly to their phones. While most rumours point to this being a service of Gingerbread, skeptics think that Google will wait and make this service happen only in time for Ice Cream (Android 2.4). What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments section below.
