Audiobooks, Magazines, Newspapers and TV shows to grace Google Play Eventually

Many of you are still up in arms about Google taking away our market and switching to the wonderful name of Play. Even though I am not all that thrilled about it myself, I can see how this is going to evolve into something much better than we have had in the past. Google is slowly working to bring  all Google users a One Google eco system. Moving to Play is just the first step. While the full future of what is to come is still a little unknown, we do know that gaming is going to take a whole new form and be hitting us every where at once instead of having to dig out separate purchases or installs.

The next step appears to be aimed at more content in a single location. You can always install Nook or Kindle and pick up Magazines and then install audible and get your audiobooks, or install a variety of official News Paper apps for your traditional reading. Google doesn’t think you should need so many apps to get everything you love. Current rumors peg all three of those services to be headed to Google Play in the near future. Giving them a better edge to compete with against iTunes and Apple.

We all know there are movies available,  that has been around for a while. Many people really use it is beyond me. With other services like Hulu Plus and Netflix, renting a movie is more of a special event than a daily activity for many. What about TV shows though. Techcrunch pointed out that Google recently picked up some new domain names like GooglePlayTV.com, and TV shows should be on the horizon as well.

No one should be surprised that media content, ease of use and ease of access to that content is a big deal to many. Take a look at the Kindle Fire, sales soured. Primarily due to its price, but also because of all the content that is available through Amazon, Hulu and Netflix. If Google is indeed working on a $200 tablet with ASUS, we should expect it to be powerful and very media orientated.

Some may not like change, but I think it was time for Google to step up their game to really compete with what is out their.
