Google is partnering with gBox to launch a DRM free alternative to iTunes. The service is supposed to be independent of Googles current music search.
Another step where google is taking more of the top 10 SERP listings and filling them with its own properties and/or partner listings.

"Another step where google is taking more of the top 10 SERP listings and filling them with its own properties and/or partner listings. " YouTube ranks on Google because people link to it. Havent you figured that out by now? According to Site Explorer: 3,366,231 links to the home page. 39,063,238 links to the domain. If 39 million links dont get you to the front page of Google, nothing will.
Why would Google create an online music store of its own when they can just eventually buy these guys....which seems to make sense considering all of the recent buying theyve done. And if youre gBox, I have to think thats been the plan all along. Is there any coincidence that this company named itself gBox to begin with? Its kinda genius, right? Create a company that sounds Google-esque with a business model that plugs a hole in the Google dike. Smart.
