Google Music comes to iOS through web app

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 15:48:00 +0000

Google has launched a new iOS web app to allow Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users to access the Music Beta service.

iPhone and iPad users now have access to Google Music a cloud service previously reserved for Android devices only. However, instead of creating a native iOS app, Google offers a Web app designed to rival Apple’s iTunes with iTunes Match and the Amazon Cloud Player.

The Google Music Web app for iOS, which Google announced on Twitter Thursday, allows you to browse your music by artist, album, song, playlist, and genres in a basic gray interface, somewhat similar to the native Android app. Music can play in the background and playback can be controlled with the standard iOS play/pause/skip controls, but Google offers no option to cache music for offline playback or to create new playlists.

The application comes through the Safari browser at music.google.com, rather than the App Store and hence by-passes the need for Apple to approve an official app.

The arrival of Google Music Beta on iOS devices will give Google a chance to snare Apple users before iTunes Match on iCloud launches later this autumn.

It'll also give the Spotify Premium iOS apps a run for their money.

IPL 4 : Sourav Ganguly joins Pune Warriors

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 03 May 2011 18:03:00 +0000

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday made a dramatic return to the IPL 4 by signing up for struggling franchise Pune Warriors as replacement for injured pacer Ashish Nehra.

“We were waiting for Ashish Nehra’s fitness report. The report came yesterday and we finalised Ganguly last night,” Pune Warriors Team director Abhijit Sarkar said.

The Warriors have lost six matches on the trot after winning their first two games and now face a must-win situation in their remaining fixtures starting with the seemingly unstoppable Mumbai Indians, who had defeated them by seven wickets in a low-scoring game at the Wankhede Stadium on April 20.

Ganguly, who played for Kolkata Knight Riders for three IPL seasons captaining them in two editions, went unsold in the January players’ auction despite a rather modest base price of $400,000.
