Google currently offers its own selection of apps on both Android and iOS, but Microsoft’s Windows platform has been mostly absent from that list over the past few years. There are a handful of unofficial apps, some mobile websites, and plenty of alternatives on Microsoft’s store, but Google hasn’t made a serious effort to compete on Microsoft’s platform. It’s looking like that will change this year.Rumors from an Arabic website suggest Google will be announcing Windows 10 apps for its services at Microsoft’s upcoming event, although there’s no detail on exactly which apps will be officially ported for Windows Phone. There are some safe bets, like Gmail and Hangouts and YouTube, but I think we can all hope to see Play Music and some others make their way to Microsoft’s side of the fence, too. Google does offer all of these services to Apple users, after all, and Microsoft has a pretty strong offering of apps on everyone’s mobile app store, so it’d be nice to see Google embrace the third biggest OS on the market, even if it is trailing significantly behind the first two.
Microsoft’s event kicks off tomorrow, so we won’t have to wait much longer to see how true this rumor ends up being.
