Music streaming service Spotify coming to 3 UK

Spotify, the music streaming service from Sweden, has signed a deal with 3 Mobile to bring said service to the UK operator's handsets.

The first handset to feature Spotify will be HTC's Android-rocking Hero - which is due to be launched in time for Christmas. Other handsets on 3 will follow next year.

The announcement comes as no great surprise as 3's parent company, Hutchison Whampoa, bought a stake in Spotify earlier this year - with 3's sister company, INQ Mobile, now having their CEO, Frank Meehan, on Spotify's board.

Disclaimer: Frank has helped me out in the past - so bear that in mind when I write about INQ or Spotify (not that I'm easily swayed or anything!)

My work mates have been using it for a few weeks now but I tried to get access yesturday and it was invitaion only now! Dont know why, maybe to many subscribing at the moment or something.

I got an invite eons ago (but haven't really used the service thus far) - didn't realise it was still by invite-only. Seems silly to me.
