XBOX music1 XBOX Music: Microsoft seeks his piece on the musical content in the cloud

For those who have tried Spotify, the streaming music service (limited to some countries in Europe and America that is) will know that its mechanism is simple: listen to the music that pleases you download and share playlists listening / viewing advertising each both (with the purchase songs giving a small fee).

That idea so simple and practical to organize your music and find it unchanged on any device with Internet, a precursor dented sector as Apple’s iTunes was today and bounces in the new attempt by Microsoft to gain a piece of this cake: XBOX Music .

The concept, names, brands … nothing is new. The company famous for Windows contents bet again by following the pattern of Spotify to be able to have your music on any device, thus trying to maintain a common point in the strategy which has been unified with your gaming console and its upcoming PC operating systems, tablets and mobile phones.

What looks like first novelty is to remove everything that smacks Zune, former competitor iPod of Apple hardware in the field and then as iTunes software. Instead, Microsoft chooses to consolidate its online XBOX has found it quite profitable as bazaar or digital content market.

This is the point where we could say that the boys Redmond have understood the whole ecosystem that Apple has built from iTunes and Amazon with its Kindle to.

After

turn it to the pan, turn the shrimp review: what is itself XBOX Music ? Microsoft defines it as “a before and after for the company,” but at first glance it looks valuable is the amount of content (say) offer input: 30 million titles to download and about 70 000 music videos .

will initially only game console, XBOX 360 , but then run like ants to sugar to reach Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and even iOS and Android in 2013 .

It will available on October 26 for free (with the respective advertising) and the possibility of spend almost $ 10 a month to get a premium service.

As you say analysts, is likely to not remove public input to its competitors but it was included in the new version of the most famous operating system PC and a console that has sold over 70 million units (since its launch seven years ago) assures a good slice of the sector.

Google seeks to dethrone Dropbox with “Drive”, its own storage service

Google Drive1 e1329308286301 Dropbox dethrone Google search with

In the era post-closure Megaupload, speak storage of content on the Web seems a subject to be taken with tongs. So strange how little publicity it has had the new baby of Google (for some, Skynet sometime in the future), a service similar to Dropbox known until now as “ Drive “.

The product in question, according to Wall Street Journal, would do the same as that referred to: store photos, documents and videos so they can be available wherever the user Internet access, but with a preference to mobile devices (such as smartphones or tablets).

nowhere mentioned how much storage would be but the ease share the content through mobile applications or links to the company itself provides.

is expected to launch-or at least officially announced sometime in 2012 with the same business model with which the company and its future competition has worked so far: free to some extent but with a fee when you exceed the limit given (that is to say, not defined).

The project could have been in development since 2007 under the code name “G Drive “, but was never shown anything to the public. Instead Dropbox, which coincidentally was born the same year, has remained until the more than 45 million users now have.

Despite the lack of data, the only thing clear is that in the short term Google is not going to swallow Dropbox , which is one of the most common trends in these times. Remains to be seen what kind of expectations can be generated with this service (double the limits of competition would be a good start) and how it integrates its huge range of services.
