All eyes will now be on Apple to see if it will compete with Google and Spotify to offer a subscription-based music service of its own in the UK. Last month, Google launched its music streaming service in Britain to do battle with the likes of Spotify. The internet giant brought Google Play Music All Access to the UK after introducing the monthly subscription service in the U.S. in May. It is the latest company to enter the crowded music streaming market and will offer its service for £9.99 a month, like many of its competitors. However, in a bid to undercut rivals, it will charge £7.99 if customers sign up before 15 September and has offered the service free for the first month. Google has also unveiled a new streaming video gadget which will give users easier access to Internet content on their televisions. The new device, called Chromecast, is a small stick roughly the same size as a USB flash-storage drive that can be plugged directly into an HDMI port on flat-panel TVs. It syncs with users' smartphones, tablets and personal computers to bring Netflix, YouTube and other Internet content to what is usually the home TV screens.
