It's nearly upon us. Quite possibly one of the most anticipated music apps, and from what I've seen, and heard, in my view one of the best. Set to be available for premium subscribers via the App Store.

As Spotify continues to grow, now at 2.15M UK unique users alone, the Spotify application will allow users to listen to individual songs, full albums, or even create playlists, which users can store songs to listen to offline.

Apple App Store Turns 1 (a good excuse for a fact or two)
Happy Birthday to the Apple's iTunes App Store which turns 1 today. Apple has celebrated the fact by highlighting it on the iTunes front page, and putting together this page (below) with a rainbow arrangement of apps, similar to the Pulsing Wall of iPhone Apps posted last month. In the full spirit of all things app related I thought that it was the perfect excuse for some app related facts (as much for your amusement, as for giving myself a place to find them all again in the future).
Apple iTunes App Store Trivia:
1) The App Store first opened its doors on the morning of July 10th 2008
2) The most expensive app sold in the App Store was the 'I Am Rich' app released in August 2008, this was "a work of art with no hidden function at all", with its only purpose being to show other people that they were able to afford it. It cost a whopping £599.99 ($999.99). The application was removed from the App Store the day following its release, on August 6, 2008, however Six people had allegedly already bought it before it was pulled.
3) The one billionth app downloaded was "Bump", created by Bump Technologies, was downloaded by Connor Mulcahey, age 13, of Weston, who was hailed the grand prize winner of Apples one billion app countdown contest.
4) US blog 'Busted Loop' revealed after some research that in order to buy all 55,732 apps that were available as of 7th July 2009 you would need to fork out $144,326.06 (An average of about £1.60 per app to you and me).
5) In May 2009 Pinch Media analyzed 30 million iPhone app downloads and discovered that only 5% of users will open either a free or paid app 30 days after the initial download.

MyVibe - iPhone 'Vibrator' App
One for the ladies maybe?? I am still not entirely sure why I felt compelled to write about this, but yes it is true the App store now houses a vibrator for your iPhone courtesy of MyPleasure.com and their MyVibe App. Using the iPhone Vibration setting, with 100 speeds and patterns, MyVibe will apparently help you relax "anywhere you want a little massage with some targeted vibrating stimulation".

I must say that I was a little surprised when I first read about this today, as the app approval process has been known to be very hit and miss at times, with previous examples being rejected over what seemed like trivial things. All the same MyVibe is free and now available on iTunes... Oh and check out Gizmodo (MyVibe Thighs-On: First iPhone Vibrator App Approved by Apple (NSFW)) for some pretty inventive views surrounding this App.
