Spotify iPhone app on its way
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 27 July 2009
A Spotify iPhone app, which will let you use the streaming music service via your iPhone, if you have such a thing, is ready to go and just awaiting approval from the powers that be at Apple. Those who like to call Spotify an “iTunes killer” probably want Apple to crack its whip and ban the streaming music service from moving to its mobile device. But those that call Spofity an “iTunes killer” are stupid, and almost certainly wrong on this point.
Spotify’s Communications Manager, Jim Butcher, told Pocket-lint: “We have a great relationship with Apple, think the iPhone is awesome and absolutely expect them to approve our app in the next few weeks. Apple has already approved several other music services such as Last.fm, Deezer and Pandora. We very much look forward to people being able to access their Spotify library wherever they might be and we’ve spent significant time and resources to ensure we’ve stuck to Apple’s developer guidelines point by point”.
Although Butcher is talking about the app being available within weeks, some on the net are saying days – not sure where they are getting that from though. If you want to watch a video of the app in action you have too much time on your hands. Though there is one, here.
