Recently in Ubuntu One Music Store Category
According to WorksWithU (where I'm checking daily for Ubuntu developments, by the way), a Ubuntu One Music Store is in the works for the 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" release. Though nothing is confirmed in the slightest, speculation is that Ubuntu parent Canonical is working with Amazon to meld its own Apple-fighting music service into Ubuntu proper in order to fill one of the more cavernous gaps in the Linux app stack.

I am reaching out to Canonical for a briefing on the Ubuntu One Music Store. But in the meantime I can tell you this: When my kids run Ubuntu on a range of netbooks and desktops at home there's only one "consumer" application they miss: Apple's iTunes. If the Ubuntu One Music Store fills that void, Canonical could successfully push Ubuntu deeper into the consumer market.
