Spotify In The iPhone App store — But Will Apple Approve It?

Streaming music service Spotify has release a video of the iPhone app which they’ve just submitted to Apple, which means it could be out in a few weeks. They’ve also revealed more of their business model - mobile access on any device will require a premium subscription.

Interestingly, you’ll be able to use the app when there is no wireless connection. The application has an offline mode that allows users to temporarily cache playlists to their phone for use when there is no connection.

It will be interesting to see Apple’s response to this - will they allow a direct competitor to iTunes one their iPhone? As I blogged a few weeks ago, I think the streaming music space is exciting at the moment and this will be the first of many interesting exchanges between Spotify and Apple. Maybe they should just join forces?

… and another thing

Did you know that more people access the internet using a mobile device than a PC?

Facebook currently has in excess of 350 million active users on global basis. Six months ago, this was 250m… meaning around a 40% increase of users in less than half a year.
