Spotify mobile music app coming to the iPhone
Spotify is one of the best streaming music services out there, and it looks like it's going to have the best iPhone app, too. Although the app is still waiting for approval from Apple, there's already a preview video up, showing off a set of phenomenal features. Streaming your music collection to your iPhone is cool enough, but being able to save tracks and entire playlists to listen to when you're not connected to the Internet is what makes this the new app I'm most looking forward to right now.Syncing between the desktop and iPhone versions of Spotify looks seamless, with changes you make to playlists on your computer getting pushed to your phone right away. Search also looks great, and the ability to skip to the next song in the playlist by sliding the album artwork sideways is a nice touch that would be welcome in Apple's iPod app. And speaking of the iPod app, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Apple doesn't issue Spotify one of its infamous rejections for overlapping functionality with one of Apple's own apps.

Do you honestly think Apple will approve this? I love you optimism but I think if you look up you won't actually see any pigs flying in the sky (Boy am I gonna look stupid if they do actually pass it!)

Instead of taking a photo of the iPhone screen, you can press the top and middle button on it to take a screenshot of the screen. It appears in your iPhoto library after that.

I agree. I see little chance Apple will approve this. They just removed all Google Voice related apps and denied the new app from Google, probably because of the threat to AT&Ts income (i.e., free SMS messages and cheap international VOIP calls). Do you really think they will approve an app that might put a dent into music purchases on iTunes?
