Spotify music streaming coming to webOS? 23
If you're not familiar with Spotify, that might be because it's the best music streaming service around that's not available in the US. Spotify for the iPhone has been quite popular, but as-yet we haven't seen a hint of it for webOS. Until now, that is, when PreCentral reader Michael spotted the above print ad for the Pixi in the Daily Telegraph in the UK. The ad reads:
When she smashed through to her highest level yet on Angry Birds, Laura briefly paused the new Brandon Flowers album on Spotify, rang her friend Abby for some major gloating, put Brandon back on, then let everyone else know by changing her Facebook status.
Amazing what you can achieve when your boyfriend's running late. Again.
While it's likely that stateside we'll have to wait for HP to make something of their Melodeo acquisition, Spotify for UK webOS users would be a nice thing indeed. What do you think: overzealous copywriter or sign of another top-tier app making its way to webOS in the near future?
(p.s. we're also amused that in the UK, Palm's tagline "Life moves fast. Don't miss a thing" has been changed to "Life moves fast. Don't miss out on anything." What, so bitter that Stephen Fry is spending his time in the US that you can't take his advice on being persnickety about language?)
Thanks, Michael!

OOOh I like.. but Grooveshark is still better, even though Spotify is originally swedish.. :)
Yus! This would be amazing, I've been using Grooveshark but Spotify is much easier to navigate and much more reliable connection. Hope this is coming soon!
How do you know? Do you have a sneak preview of Spotify for webOS?
I would love a Spotify client on my Pre!!! That's actually the only thing keeping me from getting a premium Spotify account!
I'm just amazed Palm are actually still advertising here in the UK!
Actually I see a lot of advertising on taxis, bus stands etc..though I am yet to see another webos owner in Manchester..
Ha, just seen a fairly large ad for the Pixi on PAYG on the Hotmail site. I'll shut up now....
What about a sync program that syns photo's texts, music, videos to PC. I am talking to you Nutsie. It has to be wireless though
I'm surprised she called Abby. Who calls people anymore? Send Abby a text message and she wouldn't have to stop listening to Brandon Flowers. Her boyfriend isn't late, he ditched her cus she's stuck in the 00's stilling calling friends.
haha you stupid !!! But true
This can't make up for the fact that the Pre2 will only have 16gb of storage. I'm so disappointed about this; because this phone still cannot hold a medium-sized music library, I think I may have to switch to a non-palm alternative. This sucks, since I'm a huge fan of WebOS and the Pre form factor. Sigh.
You will never listen to every song on a 16GB device so quit crying! I'm so tired of hearing people whine. As I whine right now... In that case... So how bout the fact me ol' Sprint Pre is gonna get some webOS 2.0! That's awesome!
I only have 8GB (actually less than that since I also have apps on the device). If I had 16GB I'd be set since my music collection is about 10GB.
how much music do you need? I can get by on the Sprint Pre just fine with gigs to spare.
It's a phone, not an iPod. If you want all your music all the time go buy one. Plus an iPod will last hours longer between charges.
Bump that. Pandora is still the best. All the rest are just Pandora clones.
Pandora is a very good service but it stopped being available in the UK and I suspect the rest of the world a few years ago as I was a regular user of the service here in the UK. Spotify is good product and I too have held off from bring a premuim subscriber to the site until it is available on my PRE.
But yes I was suprised that O2 put a add in the paper of the PRe as they have hardly pushed the device.
Pandora lets you listen to songs like the one you like.
Grooveshark does that and more, since it also let's you listen to the specific songs you want.
Can we get Groveshark in the UK then as that is why spotify has done so well over here as there was little competition and the fact that the interface was clean and simple. Plus you get to choose who you want to listen to. I use it a lot to listen to albums before I buy to save disappointment.
It is in the UK app store just search for Grooveshark (two o's) or it can be found on Palm here - http://bit.ly/dBKoAa you get 50 songs for free then you have to pay a monthly fee it says $3 per month.
I've actually just seen this add as a moving .gif style (well flash). It has the phone on the left, with the text (changed, but pretty much as seen above) on the right in a card. As the text changes the phone swipes the card to show a screen from the relevant app.
This also shows the Spotify app, so unless Palm/o2 have it massively wrong I'd say it is coming.
