Rumors galore -- what is it Google will be unveiling on wednesday?
Google have scheduled an event for Wednesday, just under two days away now, and the internet is abuzz with rumours as to the content of the event- though the latest fine will do nothing to settle those eager minds. A series of screenshots have surfaced purportedly showing the interface of the Google Music Store on an Android device. The store doesn't differ much in terms of features from the well-used iTunes store, it is said to feature a new social element however- a 'share with friends' button would apparently allow sharing through both Facebook and Spotify, but the screenshots haven't revealed this much-touted aspect of the Google Store, so we'll keep our fingers crossed for now.
A new sharing with friends facet of the store has been discussed a length, Business Insider says 'users will be able to "send" songs they have purchased to their friends. Those friends will be able to listen to those songs a limited number of times, or for a limited time period, for free.'
Obviously Google has learnt their lesson from Apple's failed musical social network, Ping.
Enticing?
Don't forget to pencil this in your diary- Wednesday is the Google event (music store?!) and Thursday is the release of the new flagship android device, the Galaxy Nexus.
