We've been lamenting the lack of iOS support for Google's new, awesome music service, but it's finally here. Now you can stream music to your iOS devices without ever syncing a thing.


A webapp may not be exactly what we were hoping for, but it's actually very nicely done. You have to deal with Safari's big navigation bar at the bottom, but otherwise it doesn't feel like a webapp—it's got nice animated transitions, swiping gestures that take you between the Artist, Album, and Playlist views, and it'll keep playing even if you exit Safari. The only thing it doesn't do, we found, when compared with its Android cousin is let you "pin" songs to your device—which makes sense—but overall it's a great webapp. And it's certainly nice to have all your music with you without ever plugging your iPod into your computer.


To access the webapp, just head to music.google.com on your device. You'll need a Google Music Beta account to use it.
