Forbes Claims Google Tunes is on the Way

Forbes is running an article claiming that Google isn't far from creating an iTunes competitor.

"We believe that Google is in the midst of creating its own iTunes competitor, which we've dubbed 'Google Tunes'," the analyst wrote in a client note issued today. "We think this is a logical step, now that the nascent Google Video product has been introduced."

Google Video already provides the infrastructure for users to easily download pay per view content, although many would agree the interface is a bit lacking still.
