Comment on Spotify’s latest headache: streaming music forbidden on O2 network by Afront

I’m no great fan of Apple or O2, but I hope your spot is just a technicality that’ll be overlooked… AT&T might have some Apple juice, but O2 perhaps don’t have the same clout to influence Apple’s app approval proccess.

Thanks for the link btw. Enjoying the site

Well there’s an offline mode that allows you to download playlists when connected to WiFi, so I can’t imagine Spotify getting a headache over this issue.

Comment on Apple blocks Google Voice app, Spotify next? by mUFFIN fRITTERS

It duplicates the iPod, it seems to me. And it’s not going to help iTunes unless iTunes is tied into the “pay to download a Spotify track” option. But will Apple be foolhardy enough to deny it access – that could damage Apple because countless millions will jailbreak their phone just in order to use Spotify, with serious long-term consequences for Apple.

You’d think so. Wonder if we’ll end up with Apple saying syncing is forbidden, while o2 says streaming is forbidden?!

Presumably, though, syncing an offline playlist is fine?

Therefore, you can detect network type and only allow syncing when on 3G, but streaming + syncing otherwise.

well seeing as O2 doesn’t ban or stop existing apps from VoIP companies and lets users stream from Internet radio stations, I’d expect this is more a case of its terms and conditions being outdated. And of course, according to those clauses, you are not allowed to use YouTube – one of the pre-installed apps on the O2 iPhone.

Still, you can never really predict how an operator will respond to competition

Crazy, I thought this was the idea of 3G. We keep getting told of the wonders of mobile broadband only it would seem to only exist as look but don’t touch.

Good luck guys
