Has Apple Beaten Google to the Music Cloud?

Search giant's development of its media locker has hit roadblocks

Apple has completed work on a cloud-based online music storage service, according to sources within the company who have spoken to Reuters. Google has also been developing its own music locker, but Apple is beating the seach giant to the punch.

Apple's service will allow iTunes customers to access their music library from anywhere that they have an Internet connection. So far, Apple hasn’t signed any licensing deals with record labels, sources said, but it plans to do so before the service is launched (although Apple still hasn’t provided any of the labels with a launch date).
