Google is discontinuing its Google Video service from May 13. The company has asked its users to download their videos as these will be available till May 13 only.

SEARCH ENGINE giant Google is shutting down its Google Video from May 13. As per the decision of the company, Google videos will not be available for playback from April 29 and the complete service will be discontinued from May 13. Google launched this service in January 2005, and two years back in May 2009, Google Video stopped to upload videos to Google's web servers.

Google Video has asked its users through an e-mail that Google Video will not be available for playback from April 29, however video owners can download their videos till May 13. Google Video has given download option on the Video Status page.

According to the missive from the search engine giant, Google Video users can download a video after clicking on the Download Video link. After completion of download, “Already Downloaded” will appear next to the Download Video link. In case of many videos on Google Video, user can use the paging controls located on the bottom right of the page.

Google is encouraging users to upload videos on YouTube, which offers many video hosting options including video sharing option. YouTube is world's biggest video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. YouTube was launched in February 2005 and Google purchased it in October 2006 for an amount of $1.65 billion.

Google Music, an iTunes Competitor, Coming Soon?

Another Google Music rumor is making the rounds, but this one, courtesy of the Guardian, seems to have a lot of credibility to it. According to the Guardian, Google's music service is less than two months from launch, and will be part of Android Honeycomb, the tablet-optimized version of Google's mobile OS.

Sanjay Jha, chief executive of Motorola Mobility, spilled the beans himself.

"If you look at Google Mobile services [via Android] today, there's a video service, there's a music service -- that is, there will be a music service," Jha said.

Motorola's Xoom tablet is getting the VIP treatment from Google, serving as the demo unit for Honeycomb's big features. If anyone outside Google is privy to the company's music plans, it's Jha.

I've gotten tired of hearing the Google Music rumors. The rumor mill's been murmuring about a Google digital music service to rival iTunes since at least 2005, and last year, the Google Music rumors picked up speed, with the expectation that Google would have its service ready for the holidays. But this one seems legit.
