The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Google is working on an Android@home music system, a hardware and software system marketed under its own brand.

Matt Warman writes:
The system will be among the first products to emerge from the 'Project Tungsten' system demonstrated at Google's I/O conference in May. At the time the Telegraph reported that "Google showed a tablet that could turn lights on and off, send music from the Internet to a hifi and even a "near-field communications" chip which simply had to be touched on a set of speakers to start them playing an album".
Google is now likely to be able to take advantage of the home hardware expertise it is acquiring with the purchase of Motorola, and work with directly with manufacturers to produce its own products.
