Kieron’s a douchebag. Just thought I’d put that out there.

Great news, but I think I’ll go Android instead. The andorid app seems better in many ways, and the phones too!

From Antony (while blog was moving host):

Sadly I think Apple will decline it, although not because of the reasons mentioned. They’ve Last.fm, Pandora and a gazillion radio-streaming apps, so it’s not so much the music but the streaming over 3G that’s the problem. All of the bandwith intense apps like Skype only got approved after changing to WiFi-only. So if the submitted Spotify client indeed does allow to download over 3G/Edge it doesn’t look too good.

Maybe we’ll have a little luck for once – since it’s not available in the U.S. there’s no AT&T messing things up.

For me a decent Spotify-remote app (like the Apple Remote app for iTunes) would be much more important, I stream to 3 rooms via Airtunes and want to finally see the cover and search the library from my bedroom! The available apps like Rowmote are way too basic.

P.S.: Concrats on going premium!

Nice cat!

I'm unsure about whether Apple will approve it. It could be a complete PR disaster. And even illegal, given anti-competition laws. But guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'll bet $50 that Apple will not approve this. Why on earth would they? They make money by selling songs, and this would make it way too convenient to listen to music without paying apple.

Not running in the background is a shame…though jailbreaking can solve this.

I bought premium a few months back in anticipation of this, here's hoping it works out!

Great that this works on the Touch. One of the drawbacks of the Last.fm app is that I'm tethered to the range of my wi-fi; I can't listen to my custom playlists when I'm jogging or on-the-move. Not the case with Spotify – this is a true killer app.

You had me wondering with that last one there, until I saw the small print!

I think it's pretty cool that it will work on the iPod touch too.

Can't wait for it to (hopefully) be approved though, it's the only thing holding me back from getting premium.
