iPhone Cruncher

The name Spotify likely doesn’t mean much to music fans outside of Europe. But the streaming music service has been making a number of big announcements in preparation for its US launch later this year.

In a move unlikely to make many people at Apple particularly happy, Spotify said today that its users would soon be able to download playlists directly to devices like the iPhone and iPad.

This is significant because with the new feature, Spotify users will be able to completely bypass iTunes, Apple’s seemingly-impenetrable music fortress. Instead, users will be able to sync their devices via Spotify’s desktop and mobile applications, solving one of the main complaints of those using Spotify’s service.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether Apple will end up blocking the feature, as the company has done previously. Either way, with moves like these, Spotify will be a force to be reckoned with once it makes its way stateside.

Ginger Labs, Inc., a leading provider of productivity apps, today announced its Notability App for iPad is available on the App Store. Notability takes advantage of iPad’s large Multi-Touch screen, keyboard, built-in microphone and Wi-Fi connectivity, to put the power of creating, reviewing and sharing notes at a user’s fingertips.

The Notability App for iPad automatically creates summaries for each note, using a familiar 2-column view. Summaries help to quickly navigate notes, and the built-in microphone is used to make recordings. Notes created during a recording are bookmarked in time and these notes are scrolled in sync with the recording as it is played back.

The Notability App for iPad is available for $8.99 from the App Store on iPad.
