Music is the next battleground in the escalating conflict between Apple and Google. On Thursday, Google announced it will add a streaming music service to its Android mobile platform, effectively pitting the company against Apple's iTunes effort. The new Android service hinges on media-sharing software developed by Simplify Media, acquired by Google in March (although the deal was not formally announced until now)--according to the Simplify website, its solution "connects people directly with their content, without the hassles of synching or uploading all their files. Simplify users can also share their personal media with family and close friends in a private, secure group." Details on the new Android service are relatively scarce, but during a demonstration at Thursday's Google I/O conference in San Francisco, vice president of engineering Vic Gundotra said the solution will enable users to wirelessly download music directly to their smartphones via Android Market--Google will also offer a desktop application giving users remote access to all of their DRM-free media.
