We last week announced that the Spotify application was approved by Apple to the App Store. Today, the application was finally added to the App Store. The download is free, but for the application to work you will need a premium membership which will cost you 9.99€. Get it while it’s hot :)
As a side-note, the Spotify application is also available for the devices running Android via the Android Market. Video after the break!

According to a Finnish news site, the Nokia Ovi store hasn’t been a success so far. There has been only 10 million downloads from the Ovi store since it’s launch on May 26th, 2009.
Kai Öistämö told at the Nokia World ’09 event that every user had downloaded an average of 6 applications from the store. This would mean, that the Ovi store has approximately 1.67 million users.
Compare these numbers to the mother of all application stores, the Apple App Store. During its first two months last year, the App Store served over 100 million downloads. Now the App Store has hit the 1.5 billion milestone, and 2 billion downloads shouldn’t be that far away.
According to a German iPhone news site, Navigon has now officially released a car mount for the iPhone. The mount will come with a car charger, and be available in October. The price is expected to be a little bit under 40€.
What makes this mount so much cheaper as the TomTom mount is, that it will not have it’s own GPS-chip. The Navigon car navigation will only rely on the A-GPS chip of the iPhone. This will make the navigation a little bit less accurate, and slower.
If I was in need of a navigator, I would go with the TomTom mount :)

BGR has gotten their hands on a few pictures of the coming Motorola Sholes. The device will be Motorola’s attempt at Android with a full QWERTY-keyboard. The phone will most probably be released next week at the Mobilize 2009 Conference. It’s rumored that some other phones will also see the light of the day at this event. A few more pictures after the break.
The famous HTC Touch HD will see an update sometime soon. Different from last time, the new version will be running on Android OS. The phone will most probably have a HTC customized UI running on top of Android, but this isn’t really a bad thing. So far it’s rumored that the processor will see a speed bump from 528MHZ to 628MHz. More info later on the phone :)
This very long touchscreen phone will be released in Europe in a few weeks, and everywhere else in the world in October. And with everywhere else LG means that in 50 countries :) Read the whole press release here.
