Not to be outdone by Apple's announcement yesterday of their subscription payment system, Google has unveiled one of their own. The PR-speak promises "an open and flexible platform" for "publishers, journalism and access to quality content."

Google only takes ten percent off the top (compared to Apple's thirty percent), and you even get access to consumer data -- something Apple is unwilling to do. Check out the video below. [Engadget]
