Announced at the launch of FroYo, Google Music is still to become a reality. However, new reports leaking out from Silicon Valley suggest that the apparent 'dog-fooding' exercises are already underway and the service may launch very soon.
Google Music, a cloud-based music streaming service that would also allow you to buy and store your music with the ability to stream your music from any device, would soon be available for public download.
This was discovered after CNET and Gizmodo reported that Google has started internal testing, or in Silicon Valley terms, 'dog-fooding' exercises, to test the features of the service. One of the developers at XDA also wrote that he discovered the music service when he was successful in installing Honeycomb on his Android device.
According to other sources, negotiations with top four music labels and other publishers are ongoing. It is speculated that Apple too would upgrade its popular music distribution service iTunes to a cloud-based service, especially after its acquisition of Lala, a cloud-based music service that Apple acquired and shut down.
