Late Breaking Geekery: Google Music Service Introduced

At an event in Los Angeles today, Google unveiled its new music service, Google Music. It lets users store and stream as many as 20,000 songs online and listen to tracks on multiple devices (Android, of course, though users will also be able to share music via Google+). They claim to have partnerships with a thousand music labels and offer 13 million songs. Not coincidentally, this is hot on the heels of Apple's release of iCloud and the debut of the Kindle Fire – which is an Android device, but also hooked to the Amazon Prime streaming service. We'll see if Google can carve out its own place in an increasingly crowded market. – Bonnie
