It looks like Google are going to enter the online music game, with the roll out of a music download service, linked into its search engine later this year, with the possibility of online subscription service in 2011.
The details around the service are still a bit sketchy but Google have been stepping up conversations about offering new music services tied to Android devices. At Google I/O, Google showed off technology that would allow Android users stream music to their phone from their desktop. While you can get over-the-air music with the Amazon MP3 app, there is still no complete integrated music solution such as iTunes on the iPhone.
A cloud based music service for Android would be really cool as it would allow you to stream whatever music you want to you device without worrying about storing it locally on a memory card.
