Google locker now works on Apple devices
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 9 September 2011
Although still in beta and only available in the US, Google has nevertheless managed to beat Apple in providing a music-based digital locker service that works with iPhones and iPads.
Google, of course, beat Apple to market with a music-specific digital locker, mainly by not bothering to do licensing deals with the music companies (arguing, like Amazon, that for the kind of service it is offering, no such licenses are required).
A new app for the iPhone and iPad means those using the beta service can now stream music stored in their Google lockers back to their Apple devices.
