From DailyTech: When Apple, Inc. (AAPL) launched its Apple Music service back in June of this year one of the more interesting and somewhat overlooked caveats was its declaration that it would eventually be offering its arch-rival Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Android OS users the service as well.
From a market-wide perspective this wasn't unusual. Google and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) have increasingly sought to offer their services across all major platforms, including support for Apple's iOS and OS X. Even Apple has offered Windows iTunes and iCloud apps. But the announcement was somewhat unexpected as to date Apple has refused to develop apps to give its primary rival mobile operating system Android access to its services.
But that appears to poised to change. Newly leaked photos from Germany's MobileGeeks.de indicate that Apple Music for Android is indeed real.
Reportedly the app will be launching within the next month. As a quick refresher Apple Music isn't free. Typically it costs $9.99 USD/month. For iOS users there's a free 90 day (3 month) trial, but it's unclear whether that offer will be extended to Android users as well, after the rollout.
