Many of us expected Spotify to be rejected for the iPhone by Apple, but with the recent news items concerning rejected apps it is not so surprising that it made it through. Thanks to Trevor for the link.
“Apple has approved the Spotify iPhone application, allowing users to stream music to their handsets.
The company submitted the application to Apple’s iTunes App Store for its approval in July.
The application will be free, but will require the user to have a premium Spotify subscription, which costs £10.
The Swedish music streaming service is looked on as a rival to Apple’s iTunes store because of its comprehensive, free library of millions of songs.
Apple currently dominates the digital music market, which led many to speculate that the app may not be approved.
However, many in the music also industry regard Spotfiy as an alternative, and a credible business model for an industry which has had difficulty adapting to the online world.”
