Apple To Beat Google On Cloud Music

Posted by Soulskill on from the hey-guys-what-else-can-we-stream dept.

yogidog98 writes with this excerpt from a Reuters report: "Apple Inc has completed work on an online music storage service and is set to launch it ahead of Google Inc, whose own music efforts have stalled, according to several people familiar with both companies' plans. Apple's plans will allow iTunes customers to store their songs on a remote server, and then access them from wherever they have an Internet connection, said two of these people who asked not to be named as the talks are still confidential."

    ...and that is that Apple fanbois will not have to queue up in the wee hours of the morning or night for this service.

    This phenomenon has always intrigued me. How someone can line up in the cold, hungry and with limited bathroom facilities in order to be the 'first' to have a device, which by the way, becomes mainstream a few weeks after.

    All the while, some clever gentle man is making millions as the fans 'suffer'.

    This world is clearly interesting, isn't it?
