Spotify Demo Google Android Application
by JP on May.28, 2009, under Mobile Applications
Spotify have made no secret recently at the fact they are working on mobile versions of their service. Lets face it, having access to millions of tracks on your handheld device whilst on the move has to be one of THE killer apps of all time. They’ve previously released a video of Spotify running in an iPhone emulator to get the public’s mouth watering, and yesterday provided some more exciting news.
At the Google I/O conference yesterday, they showed off their work-in-progress demo of Spotify for Android. Yes, it’s coming! It’s a great looking app; it’s responsive, it syncs playlists between handset and desktop in seconds, and it can search the whole of the Spotify library just like you’re on your desktop. One much needed feature which they’ve given though to is the ability to cache tracks offline, so you can carry on in your listening pleasure without a Wifi or 3G/GPRS signal, i.e. on the underground tube here in London.
Take a look at the shiny new Spotify for Android application below. Exciting times!
