Google is developing a home-entertainment system to stream music wirelessly throughout a user’s house, reports the Wall Street Journal. The device will be Google-branded, marking a first for the search giant, which up until recently developed software it then licenses to outside vendors. The system will most likely be Android-powered and will allow users to download music and stream it to Google-made speakers or other Web-connected devices in a home. The system may also be able to stream other digital media rather than just music. Apple, one of Google’s main rivals, has long developed both the hardware and software for its products. With its pending acquisition of Motorola, Google is making waves into the hardware sector as well. The Android-powered entertainment system will reportedly be available later this year.
