Today, Google is set to kick off a its annual developer conference in San Francisco, the Google I/O 2011, with great focus on two of their important developer platforms: Android

and Chrome.

At the event, Google is expected to unveil a great deal of info on its plans for these OSes, and also to announce some new services and apps for devices powered by them.

Nothing was officially confirmed for the time being, but rumor has it that, among the announcements, Google has included one involving its music service, which is not fully ready for prime time.

Apparently, the company would plan on releasing the service by offering users the possibility to store a number of up to 20,000 of their favorite songs, which can then be streamed on an Android device.

Google was planning on launching a more feature-complete service, but some major labels did not agree with the company's vision, it seems.

The info comes from Jamie Rosenberg, Director of Android Product Management, but nothing was formally announced as of yet. Hopefully, Google would share more light on the matter later today.

“This year’s keynote presentations will highlight the biggest opportunities for developers and feature two of our most popular and important developer platforms: Android and Chrome,” Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice President of Engineering, Google, notes in a blog post.

“Google engineers from Andy Rubin and Sundar Pichai’s teams will unveil new features, preview upcoming updates, and provide new insights into the growing momentum behind these platforms.”

One innovation that those who won't be able to attend would enjoy is I/O Live, where presentations would be streamed live, and where the company would also publish recorded versions of all sessions.

“We’ll live stream the two keynote presentations, two full days of Android and Chrome technical sessions, and the After Hours party. Recorded videos from all sessions across eight product tracks will be available within 24 hours after the conference,” the said blog post continues.

Android users interested in staying up to date with the conference while on the go can also head to the Android Market here to download and install the official Google I/O 2011 application on their device.
