I'm with you on this one. I must be missing something because, while this Google offering is technically impressive, I'm just can't see people flocking to use it.
Streaming my music from the cloud is going to cost me! so I'd only ever use it once in a blue moon. I can't see myself uploading 20,000 songs just on the off-chance that the song I want to listen to at that moment is not on my mobile. I just don't get it
I'm interested to see what Apple do in this space with iCloud...
RTP.
you need to look at the music streaming stuff as just part of what Google are planning..their vision for mobile and home entertainment which so far is winning and winning well.
Their i/O today was certainly more impressive than anything Apple has done recently.
Assuming Google can deliver then this iOS vs Android thing is over before it even really began.
