| 1263670 | 2012-03-07 21:52:00 | Google play (play.google.com) just opened which rolls music, apps, and ebooks (apparently the largest online) together. Seems apps for the moment in NZ. Overview here. (searchenginewatch.com) | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1263671 | 2012-03-07 23:41:00 | Mmm, it's mostly just a rebranding exercise, to address the fact that the Android Market was being used for much more than just Android apps. There's no actual new product for us here in NZ. As a side note, if you want to use Google Music, you can do so if you sign up from a USA IP address. You still can't buy anything though. |

And they wonder why people pirate the stuff by putting up "not in your country " road blocks all the time.. |

| 1263673 | 2012-03-08 00:38:00 | Yeah it's nice though coz I've been using the Music service for a while from both my PC and my Phone AND my Tablet... Having this expands on it being more than just an Andoird service as mentioned :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1263674 | 2012-03-08 02:04:00 | On your Android phone or tablet, Google will upgrade the Android Market app to the Google Play Store app over the coming days (only in certain countries, see below) All downloads such as your videos, books and music apps will also be upgraded to Google Play Movies, Google Play Books and Google Play Music apps. You should be able to play these just like normal without interruption by logging into your Google account like always Am I the only one that thinks that running everything from a remote location is a crock of ****? |

| 1263676 | 2012-03-08 08:26:00 | Am I the only one that thinks that running everything from a remote location is a crock of ****? Yeah pretty much. Once you've had a legitimate use for it, like playing music at a mates place for a party, or while at work, or something like that ... You'll appreciate it. Until then, yeah, you're right ;) |

No I prefer to keep all our data at home on our computers and on our own file server rather up in the clouds somewhere. If the internet goes down or even just our phone line we can still work on our data priceless |

In all seriousness though, you're right - cloud services don't suit everyone's workflow, preferences, or environmental constraints. |

If you're out of internet range, your books, data, games etc. are about as useless as you could wish. Your expensive phone or tablet is relegated to a juggling artefact, not quite as much use as an old brick. The idea of down- and up- loading an via ISP every time you want to get a trifling bit of data is about as logical as putting a bunch of drongos in Wellington for 3 years and paying them real money to do their worst. |
