Google Looking to Launch iTunes Rival

Share

A recent rumor stated that Google is looking to start a iTunes-like service in order to compete with Apple's dominance in the industry. Google has reportedly been in talks with several major record labels, further suggesting that a Google form of iTunes is coming.

It is likely that Google would be planning to release this service in December, just in time for the middle of the holiday season.

Many other companies have tried to compete with Apple in the music before, but without much success. The most recent competitor is Sony, who is expected to launch there own music store sometime in 2011. Major record companies are encouraging this competition, because some feel that Apple has gotten too much dominant control in the music industry.

If anyone can bring down Apple to a less dominant level, Google can.
