It's possible that Google is launching a music store in the near future. In a leaked story, someone with a phone which had Android 2.3 spotted a new option within the data and synchronisation screen. A new option called "Sync Music" had appeared - see photo above.

The news leaked to Gismo Fusion via one of its readers and suggests that a Google Music service is inbound. The new Sync Music feature is alongside the option to sync contacts. We anticipate that Android users will soon be able head over to the Android Market and download albums and singles as well as apps and games.

We would expect all versions of Android to get the "Sync Music" capability to maximise the impact and income of the anticipated Google Music Store.
