Microsoft plans to use its Windows 8 launch party to also unveil its own music-streaming service – Xbox Music. From what we’re hearing, the service will offer subscriptions similar to Zune Music Pass, while also allowing users to get something for free, relying on the ad-supported plan that makes it similar to Spotify and Pandora.
At launch, Xbox Music will be available on Windows 8, Windows Phone and Xbox 360, with other platforms — including iOS and Android — getting it at some point in the future.
Aside from streaming, the service will also integrate SkyDrive, making sure users can store music and playlists in the cloud, and access them from different devices… Sounds pretty cool though we have to try it ourselves before making any judgments.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
