Yeah i definately agree but does anyone want to speculate as to how long it will take for it to be in the apple app store???

I predict about 12 months!

[OJI]

I predict iPhone os 3.0
just a guess!

I dont see how the OS will affect Spotify. As far as I know Spotify does not need any additional hardware or software to work. It is down to a licensing agreement/app approval.

It will totally affect the functionallity of the application, if you have seen the keynote for os3 .. but thats not why I guess it will be released shortly after 3.0 .. the reason is that applicationmakers has been given the sdk for programming on os3 a while back now, and i GUESS spotify have prepared well now. Remember i am guessing here. =) Its a perfect opportunity to release the moblie platform, and i think they will take it.

[OJI]

You were right beechy =) .. I just don´t hope your prediction regarding 12 months will come true :S

[beachy]

Yeah so do I as I really dont want to wait much longer!

Found so many new bands on spotify but I dont want to buy all their music! Cheap skate I know!

Well, this one comes as a huge relief. More than one of the CNET UK team is a devout Spotify addict, and those premium members who enjoy the mobile application on an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 will be glad to hear that Spotify has submitted an iOS 4 update to Apple for approval. The news broke on Spotify's blog, and confirms that background listening will also be available, allowing listeners to keep on a'rockin' even when running other applications -- a sorely missed feature that so far has hampered the app's usability.
