Spotify mobile app
It has been known for some time that Spotify were working on a mobile app, and they have finally demo’d it.
The verdict? Frankly it looks absolutely outstanding. The fact that you would be able to load the songs you want to listen to while you have signal is an amazing feature, allowing you to continue listening even when out of signal or on a slow 2G connection.
An interesting point is that they have choosen to demo the application on the android platform, rather than an iPhone. This would seem to suggest that Apple are reluctant to authorise a version of the application for the App store, fearful of the ramifactions for their iTunes sales. It is even more poignant given that the laptop used in the demonstration video is a Macbook.
