As suspected, Google will be announcing at their I/O conference this morning a streaming music service for desktop and mobile. Simply called Music, the early beta is currently only available in the United States, but will allow users to upload their songs to share with the world at large, much like Grooveshark. Record labels probably won’t be particularly happy about this, but Google is all about making information available to everyone. Google Music will let users store 20,000 tracks in the cloud – more than enough for the vast majority of us.
We’ve got a liveblog going and will be updating this post with more details as they happen, but in the meantime, head on over here to sign up for the free beta of Google Music.

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
