Google to launch Google Music and Android 3.0 together in fall/winter

It looks like Google Music and Google Android 3.0 will be launching simultaneously sometime in the fall/winter of 2010. Gaurav Jain, Android Product Manager, confirmed this news to Israeli newspaper Calcalist. Apparently music is in integral part of the next Android version and that is the reason the two Google services will be launched together. Jain’s translated statement is:

“Google will combine music download service next version of Android launched for the U.S. holiday season.”

Aiming to compete with Apple’s music streaming service, Google wants to launch a Music service that centered around streaming. The Apple service will be based off Lala, whom they acquired earlier on. Rumors indicate that Apple plans to release their latest software sometime before the end of the year. According to BGR, Apple’s service includes the following:

Streaming music and movies from Apple’s servers to your computers, devices, etc.
Streaming music and movies from your home computers to your other computers, remote devices, etc.
Wireless iTunes syncing with devices

Will Google’s new Music service be able to compete with Apple’s product? Only time will tell, but hopefully we will learn more about this as we get closer to the Holiday season.
