Google Music Is Availble As A Web App Now For iPhone And iPad

These days, many leading technology and Internet companies have tried to find a way to win a slice of the music business. Google responded that was introduced earlier this year, Google Music, a cloud service that is currently a beta product and U.S. stores only at the invitation-only, which the user has the entire music library on the cloud. While initially only for Windows, Mac and Android, iOS version of the service, which is now available.

The announcement was composed by Google in a tweet:

Google Music is not quite sure how it works with Google Music is very simple: a standard PC, users can upload their music collection - currently up to 20,000 songs - the "cloud". From there, the songs on any device with an Internet connection to play, simply by visiting the website of Google Music or running the official request, in the case of Android. New songs can be downloaded at any time by normal computers, but smartphone users can simply play.

While a real application for Google Android at the start, has the company is taking a different approach with its strategy of iOS that everything a native application to a web app. There is no installation of the imagination, or jargon App Store, only to run head music.google.com of Safari Mobile and the service at this time, when residing in the United States and also a Google Account Music.

A weaker user experience you would expect, but that does not seem to be the case. In fact, the controls in Safari, it behaves like a native application, until the transition smooth and pleasant. The web application requires a permit, up to 25MB disk space on your iPhone cases, the contents of cache somewhere, and its streamed from Google's servers. worthwhile. Better yet, you can adjust the volume of the song, or to a different song in the playlist, all using the native controls of the system, and the best part? Works seamlessly in the background.

When asked about plans for a native application on the road, Google disclaims any intent to bring to the App Store anytime soon, although admitting that it must be observed in future:

we’re considering all options to bring the service to more people, but don’t have anything official to share.

Whatever the reason, the web app works very well. Since Google Music requires a permanent Internet connection to work, perhaps anticipating a native application, it would make little sense for the company.
