Google Music Expected to Launch Next Month

Downloads service is 'close' says Android boss

Google is close to unveiling its new music service, which will apparently mix digital downloads with cloud storage.

Google’s head of Android, Andy Rubin, confirmed reports of an upcoming launch at All Things D’s AsiaD conference in Hong Kong. “I think we’re close,” he said. Rubin added that the new music provider won’t be another iTunes; Google’s version “will have a little twist,” he said. “It will have a little Google in it. It won’t just be selling 99-cent tracks.”
