Spotify Looks To The iPhone

Spotify, the music streaming service that's already big in Europe, has submitted an iPhone application.

Spotify, the music streaming service that’s gaining customers by the minute in the European countries where it’s live, has set its sights on the iPhone. Due to launch in the US before the end of the year, the company has submitted an application to the iPhone, and is waiting to hear whether Apple will accept it.

That could be an interesting decision. With its large library, ease of use, and free service (with ads), it’s be hailed as an iTunes killer, putting it in direct competition with one of Apple’s most cherished services.

If accepted, the application will be free to download, but will require a premium subscription, costing around $15 a month and ad free) to use. Not yet available, but demonstrated by the company, is an application for the Android phone.

Currently Spotify has more than six million users in Europe, two million of those just in the UK.
