The site uses Google Maps for its location services, and automatically provides driving direction for the theater of your choice. iTunes Movie Trailers also offers users to buy their tickets directly from the site, in partnership with Fandango.

Supposedly, from two sources, we heard that Google was planning to release the service with the newest version of Android or when 3.0 comes out and it looks like things are right on course. Google, as of right now, has not signed with any labels to get started on the music service, but if they are planning to launch it by Christmas they should be getting some details ironed out soon.
