Google’s music stream to Android handsets has been teased and leaked, but till now there’s still no sight of its launching ever since Google introduces it over at Google I/O last year. But now it seemed that Google will be getting a big step further into this act as the search engine giant has acquired mobile entertainment company PushLife, which has been developing a music app of its own for the Android and BlackBerry platforms.

Now, why will PushLife affect Google’s cloud-based music streaming service? Well, currently PushLife offers one-click purchases from an integrated music store, an overview of tunes you have both on your smartphone and on your computer (with the ability to access both sets on the phone), and automatic playlist syncing with iTunes or Windows Media Player libraries. There’s even more fanciness, such as recommendations based on the song you’re playing, artists bios and photo galleries, plus Twitter and Facebook integration.

This will definitely spear head Google’s Android music streaming service. The Canadian startup is believed to have cashed in to the tune of $25 million and will soon be shutting down its independent operations. What’s more Google I/O 2011 is approaching, so will we see a new announcement by then?
