Will Google Catch Apple?
September 21, 2010
Apple is ready to face the music with confidence. Seven years of success with the iTunes Music Store would help any company’s self confidence. Can the giant Google sprint like ‘Usain’ and bolt Apple’s success door with its own planned music store? There’s wide speculation and some relief in the music industry, as reports Reuters article “Apple and Google to Clash in Music Space by Christmas.”
“The music industry hopes to benefit from a battle for control of the mobile phone and computer desktop between Apple and Google,” points out the article, and that this competition could help the digital music market to rise and expand. With the dismal example of Amazon’s music venture, the article says it is not going to be easy even for the giant, as there’s a long lead to ‘catch up’ for Google. We already see Google playing the same catch game with Facebook in social networking, and Microsoft with Google.
The consumer market is a tricky one. Apple may be the “new” Sony. Google may be the “new” Microsoft. The interactions will be fascinating.
