Music Beta by Google makes an appearance on iOS as a WEB Application

gsmarena 001 Music Beta by Google makes an appearance on iOS in the form of a web app

 

We all thought that Google will be restricting their Music Beta service to Android users but we have been proven wrong. Google has now made the service, which is still in beta, to iOS users as well. There is a catch, however. The catch is that unlike Android, iOS does not get a native application. Its available in the form of a web app, which can be accessed from the web browser on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Aesthetically, the web app is not on par with the native Android app but as far as functionality is concerned you can do everything that you can on an Android device, including running it in the background while you use other apps.


To those who do not know what Music Beta by Google is, it is a service, currently available for free, that allows users to upload up to 20,000 tracks to Google servers, which can then be streamed anytime, anywhere from a compatible device.


I guess it makes sense from a business point of view to offer the service to iOS users as well so that when it comes out of beta and becomes a paid service Google will have a lot more prospective customers on their hands.
