Google Music could be launched as an iOS app sometime this month according to Engadget. The company is currently testing a native app to identify and eradicate any bugs or glitches that may surface.
During Google I/O, Android chief Sundar Pichai announced that the arrival of a Google Music iOS app was imminent but this is the first piece of news we’ve heard about the program in a long time. Developers are testing an internal beta to correct DRM issues reported by The Verge.

Its unknown when the specified release date will be but it would be interesting to see how this app could interface with iTunes Radio. We’ll keep you updated as this develops.
