Contrary to reports, Apple has not turned down the Spotify application, with the music streaming company confirming to TechRadar that there has been no ruling either way.
Rumours have been circulating that the Spotify app – which would obviously provide opposition to Apple's iTunes store by providing streaming music to account holders – has been rejected.
Nothing in it
However, speaking to TechRadar, communications director Jim Butcher insisted that the rumour was unfounded.
"Absolutely nothing in it," said Butcher. "We're still waiting to hear back from Apple. Currently all quiet on the north western front."
Spotify's iPhone app, which TechRadar's review found rather impressive, was submitted to Apple back at the end of July.
The lengthy vetting process has, somewhat inevitably, raised eyebrows – with Apple already having to defend some of its decisions over the iTunes app store.

3. Yeah, but why wouldn't it work when there's a link to buy the song on iTunes? Surely that's a revenue stream for Apple, and Jobs looooooves cash.

2. Not surprised that people are assuming the worse. Sky News app went through in days. This has been with Apple for getting on for three weeks

1. I can't wait to get this on my iPhone. If it doesn't make it through, we should definitely get Spotify to make its own phone... it would be miles better than the Skypephone or Faecbook phone!
