Thumbplay is one of 10 third-party apps to be showcased in the Chrome Pod of the Google I/O Developer Sandbox.
“To be invited to the Developer Sandbox at Google I/O this year is a credit to our ongoing relationship with Google,” said Evan Schwartz, CEO and Co-Founder of Thumbplay. “With Google’s innovation, our team was able to create a feature-rich app that works beautifully and leverages the ease and simplicity of a browser.”
The Thumbplay Music application for Chrome OS was developed in accordance with the latest H L5 and CSS3 web standards and will provide future Chrome OS users with unlimited, anytime/anywhere access to millions of songs. In addition, there will be a series of unique, web-based interactive features specific to Thumbplay Music for Chrome OS, such as offline playback and instant synching.
The Google I/O Conference is Google’s largest annual developer event, hosting thousands of leading developers and designers who have created and cultivated applications specific to Google and open web technology.
