Can you Spotify the issue with Mobile Phones?

Hello again everyone,



With the recent announcement that Spotify is now available on Symbian handsets has it set in motion the start of an internal war between Apps, Brands and networks?



What I mean by this is that Nokia already have a music streaming application on most of the phones this will affect. (N97 being the exception for some bizarre reason) and this will be in direct competition. I for one know which way I will favour. Spotify all the way!!



I think this is only the beginning as Spotify grows and becomes more popular it must have an influence on iTunes and the Apple iphones as a music device. So what is the next step??



I honestly believe that the next step will be Skype calls dominating the mobile world and threatening the networks for customers. How can O2 for example not allow Skype usage on a Nokia phone if they say it is OK? They could always refuse to sell that model but why would they do that if it is the latest model and people want it. They will just limit themselves to other customers.



I think this will be the next big battle in the mobile industry and don’t be surprised to see large and manufactures, retailers and networks buying into internet providers to insure themselves against this.



Until next time people keep recycling
