The next battle to be won is video, audio seems to have gone to Apple. It makes sense for Google to get into music, but I think it will not occur in the near future. In fact, in the end, if they are able to strike an arrangement with Apple (IF) then don't they gain an edge over Yahoo and Microsoft anyway?
