Google, Apple, and the iTunes Music Store
This one is interesting news. Google is in competition with the world’s largest software company with their search engine services. However, they continue to prefer Microsoft Operating System for their software products. However, the latest rumors circulating in media just might display another market where Google would be going against Microsoft’s products. Digital Media on the Internet is where Google plans to join hands with Apple offering competition to MSN Music online service.
The rumors of this possible collaboration between Apple and Google has helped the Macintosh maker set an all-time high on Friday after their deal broke with Hewlett-Packard on the sales of HP branded iPod music device. The reports claim that Google is forging a partnership with Apple where the search engine giant would be offering music from Apple iTunes for sale on their web services.
This means that probably the convergence of the world’s most popular search engine and the world’s most popular digital music online store! Reports say that Google is expected to offer in some form or the other on their web based products. This can be in the form of links to iTunes webstore on search results on relevant keywords. Apple has not responded to these rumors quoting the company’s policy of staying quiet on these subjects. Google is also yet to release any statement.
However, if it indeed happens… it would be a rather interesting step and another nail in the coffins of the MSN Music service.
