Samsung launched its own mobile music service in the United States. The Samsung Music Hub will be initially available on the Galaxy S III smartphones offered by AT&T and US Cellular. Availability for the rest of the flagship’s carrier versions is yet to be announced.

The service will be offered in free and premium variations with the latter set to cost $9.99 a month. New users will get a free 30-day trial of the Premium suite as well as a free album of their choice.

Powered by technology from the recently acquired by Samsung company mSpot, the Music Hub features a streaming catalog with integrated access to a music store, as well as the ability to upload your own collection of tunes to the cloud for streaming from compatible devices, including a web-based player. Personal radio streaming service is also available in the premium version of the Music Hub.

Google Play Store can now charge your movie, music and book downloads to your phone bill

The Play Store has had the ability to charge your app downloads to your phone bill in certain markets and on certain carriers.

Now Google has expanded that to include movies, music and ebooks, basically everything that can be bought off the Play Store, as well.

In the US, this feature is only available to users on AT&T and T-Mobile’s network but it will be coming soon to Sprint customers as well. In Japan, it is available for DoCoMo, KDDI and Softbank customers. Other countries include Germany (T-Mobile International, Vodafone), Italy (Vodafone), Korea (KT, SKT, LGU+), Spain (Vodafone) and UK (T-Mobile International, Vodafone).

Hopefully, Google will add other regions soon. It will also be nice if they could add the option to gift content to others.
