Spotify iPad App In Development
Announces Huge, Special Music Deal With Coca-Cola
By Gary Krakow
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek came to NYC today to tell the press that his company has made a deal with soft-drink giant Coke.
The new global partnership comes in the form of a new Coca Cola Music app to be released in the June/July time frame – just in time for this year's Summer Olympics in London.
Despite the importance of this new venture, the first question from gathered journalists concerned a different app. One that's due to make an even biggest splash. And, Mr. Ek confirmed that Spotify has their own iPad app “in the works” but refused to share any additional details.
Spotify, the giant music library in “the cloud” which lets you stream songs/albums to Web-based devices is headquartered in Sweden. They offer both free and pay services.
