Rumor says Google rolling out music service with the honeycomb (Appolicious)

Google (GOOG) has its own subscription service, is about to roll out in-app purchases and has a web-based store app for Android: now only need one service selling music and mirroring of Apple (AAPL) will be completed.

Rumor has it and is working on such a service, which will roll out with Android 3.0 honeycomb, the operating system version is specifically geared towards Tablet devices. At least, that is according to Mashable.

The guardian has caught the list like Motorola, mobility (MMI) CEO Sanjay JHA accidentally revealed Google plans for a music service as he was touting Xoom Tablet of his company. Here's the citation: JHA

"If you look at Google Mobile Services [via Android] today, there is a service of video, there is a music service — that is, there will be a music service."

Whoops. While this is not the first we've heard about Google's music service. Honeycomb has a music Google app included with it, and Google has also showed off an online music service without name back in May. There were other committed, too, but the indication is that Android is going to get their own version of iTunes.

Powerful Tablet Xoom Motorola is going to be among the first machines enabled honeycomb and JHA said Google Music (if this is what is called) "will be based on honeycomb," according to The Guardian.

Like the rest of the efforts of Google's online service, Google Music will likely be cloud-based, allowing users to stream or download songs from wherever they are, provided they have access to the Internet. Is the system itself that the online version of the Android market uses to navigate content and applications for Android devices users, whatever they are. Mashable says that the service would offer a Google Music sort of digital locker, which stores your purchases in the cloud to access every time.

But it seems that Google has a long way to go as far as a music service and not on a technological front. The record companies are reluctant to jump in with Google on the whole "digital locker" idea, according to the New York Post, and while Google is trying to get licensing issues clarified, could be a big obstacle going forward. It could stop the whole music service, but may well kill or slow the cloud-based component.

Yet, the assumption is that especially compressed and Android devices in general are going to have access to your music store in the near future--probably not too long after the honeycomb starts to become widely available, starting with Xoom launch later this month.

Plan quickly by reducing the number of key differences between iOS and Google Android seems to make pretty good, though. Provided that the company can convince the music industry to go with the flow, Google will be removing another important point of sale from the line-up of iOS and leveling the field further.

Honeycomb ported to Nexus One, unfortunately you cannot make calls

Until now, Android OS software imminent honeycomb Google was reserved for only the Tablet devices. In addition, other than a color Nook, there have been quite minimalistic hacks to try to get the operating system running on other platforms. A developer of XDA accepted the challenge of trying to get the honeycomb, working on a smartphone and he managed to some extent — here's the Nexus One running Android 3.0! But don't rejoice yet.

Forum member "bypass23" uses the honeycomb SDK to build a bootable ROM on your Nexus. He stresses that the SDK has remained virtually intact, paving the way for other developers willing to improve the user interface of the comb on phones. More information other than this is sadly lacking, even though we know that the trick is still a little green, so some areas still not working, or require workarounds clumsy. You know, important stuff like using your phone to make calls or write texts. According to a member who tried the hack for himself, however, Wi-Fi, camera, bluetooth, accelerometer and good work well, so you can have a little fun with the honeycomb.

It is therefore a nice trick in development, but don't forget the main point of having a phone to make calls and texts (Yes, not just playing cool apps!). Up to Bypass23 or other developers working on this hack to give him the nod, waiting for these important functions be added before you try it for yourself.

Check out the forum thread to see more screenshots of OS and what others are saying on the door.
