Since the beginning, the biggest drawback to Google's Android OS was the lack of a full-featured music app. The old player would play music, but that was just about it.

The iPhone's music player evolved from the iPod -- the industry leader in portable music players -- so it's no surprise that the music experience on iOS was better than that on Android. iOS also has iTunes, a complete experience for obtaining, organizing, and synchronizing your music library with your phone. Android didn't have anything remotely similar.

Google's new music app was a huge improvement, but still lacked the ecosystem and end-to-end experience that Apple offered. It still fell short.

Google is changing all that with their new Google Music service and apps.
