Spotify on the iPhone
Keep your eyes on the App Store – the iPhone application for Spotify is coming.
You’ll be able to stream your playlists, synched with your desktop account, cache upto 3,333 tracks and search the library of albums and artists.
The question right now is “Will Apple approve it?”. Given their recent dealings with Google Voice, there’s every chance they could refuse the Spotify application, as you could argue it duplicates the fucntionality of the iTunes store – it certainly could steal some of Apple’s thunder and revenue in this regard.
If however the app gets through, it could be a great thing for iPhone users, and cement Spotify’s position in the industry. Coupled with the recent $50m investment into the company, this has the potential to change the US market if they are able to open the service to American users.
I’ve upgraded to Spotify premium in anticipation of the app’s release. Check back here for updates as it happens!
