Despite the fact that competitors like Rdio have had one for ages, It’s taken Spotify frickin’ forever to release an official iPad app. That may be about to end though, as a Swedish technology journalist has just posted the above screenshot of what appears to be Spotify’s official iPad app… perhaps not-so-coincidentally ahead of a special announcement Spotify has planned for Wednesday.
Let’s hope it is the official app: it’s far past time, and applying a Twitter-like pane approach to the app is actually pretty brilliant. This app actually looks worth the wait.

*Requires Facebook.
Finally! Been waiting for a capable Spotify app since the beginning. Using the iPhone app (2x) sucks… like most iPhone apps in 2x. Hopefully your tip is right on this!
I am glad this is finally here. Also, I love the screen shot. As an avid metal fan for the past 35 years, I appreciate the music selection in the shot and especially thankful it is not.
For the most of us – Facebook have been there, done that. Absolutely nothing more and it is nothing more than a “fling”. I do not have one serious partner (mathematics, physics,) and even not in the business I’m working with would rely on Facebook. It is a pond for small girls, just like the inventor. A small girl.
Yeah, that was pretty much the dumbest collection of words I’ve read today. Not only did you insult those who use facebook, you insulted women on a larger scale. Why don’t you go around to all of us who use facebook and convince us that it’s wrong for us to use facebook because it’s a woman’s tool. Because it’s apparently not good enough for us tough and hot-headed men.
Yay can’t wait!!! Seriously why is it taking all these app developers so long to make iPad versions of their Apps? Oh well, at least with the iPad there is… a lot more selection then.. ahem that other tablet by that funny looking ice cream dude… LOL
