Google To Take On Apple's Music Sales!

9/07/2010 3:30 PM ET | Filed under: Tech Talk

It appears that Google is entering the Digital Music World, and they are totally ready to take on Itunes. Sources have said that Google President Andy Rubin would like to have the new digital music service up and running by Christmas. There’s nothing like some Holiday-time rivalry!

Itunes has dominated digital music sales for the past 7 years, and they’re responsible for 70 percent of digital music sales in the U.S. Google will have their work ahead of them competing with that.

Between integration into search results and incorporation into Android mobile phones, Google certainly has inneresting ways to self-promote.

Do U think Google Can Take On Itunes?

itunes will stay on top for a while. People know itunes well and they don't want to change unless is something above the cut.

If they're going to sell files in lossless FLAC format I might be interested.

Googles main market is Android users, not Iphone and Ipod users. So there will not be any direct competition between Google and Apple.

Kendall & Kylie Jenner Go To Coachella AGAIN With Jaden & Willow Smith! But Why?!

Where are these girls’ parents?!

Kendall and Kylie Jenner were at Coachella last weekend, but they couldn’t get enough and came back for weekend two also!

The 18-year-old and 16-year-old sisters were dancing around with their famous besties Willow Smith, 13, and Jaden Smith, 15, as they listened to Ellie Goulding’s glorious voice!

But why were they even there?!

Both weekends have the same lineup, and more importantly
