New Google Music Service Launch Imminent

Google will soon launch a music service, we’ve heard from multiple sources, and the company has spent the last several weeks securing content for the launch of the service from the major music labels. One source has referred to the new service as Google Audio.

We’re still gathering details, but our understanding is the service will be very different to the Google China music download service that they launched in 2008. That service, which is only available in China, allows users to search for music and download it for free.

This new service will be available for at least U.S. users, our sources confirm, although it isn’t clear if it’s a download or streaming service, or both. Google already has a decent (if little used) music search engine that can be accessed by simply typing “music:)” before a query (example). But songs are not available for streaming or download from those searches.

We’ll update as we get more details.

Google Wave, which was announced by the Google in I/O 2009 few months back, will be going beta tomorrow i.e 30th September.

Already 6000 developers are testing and developing apps on Google Wave using Google Wave sandbox. Google Wave Sandbox Ids where distributed at launch of Google Wave to few requested developers.

If you where not the lucky one, this time you might get a chance to have a hand on Google Wave. Google will grant access to first 100,000 user request received, this time it would be developers as well as normal users. They can test beta version of Google Wave.

According to a letter from Google, which i found on internet, Google is now more focusing on the stability and speed of Google Wave and not on new features. Though lots of developers from the open source community is contributing in developing apps for wave.

I am very much sure Company’s like Colayer who are working on virtual contextualized products will be exited from this news and waiting for healthy competition.
