Google Music lets you store your music collection on Google's servers. Like with Amazon's recently launched Cloud Drive, you upload your songs once -- using a guided tool -- and then can listen to your music anytime, on any computer or Android device. As you'd expect, everything is automatically and continuously synced, including playlists, so you have an identical experience regardless of what device you use. All you have to do is sign in with your Google account, and you're good to go.It's in beta, and only available in the U.S. so far, unfortunately. Google Music allows you to upload up to 20,000 songs free of charge. It's free, "at least while it's in beta."
How about movies?
Google's wireless movie-streaming service lets you rent a movie from the Android Market, then watch it on the Web or on your Android device. Once you rent a film, you have 30 days to start watching. After you click "play," the movie's good for 24 hours; during that time, you can view it as much as you want from any PC or compatible Android device. You can even watch it via YouTube, if you're so inclined.
Google says it has "thousands" of movies available. At a glance, there appears to be no shortage of new release titles in the virtual racks; you can browse through the Web version of the store yourself here. Pricing ranges from $1.99 to $3.99, depending on the film.
