Spotify chief executive Daniel Ek and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced today that Spotify is now available for Windows phones 6.X. The announcement was made at an event at Stockholm's Royal Institute of Technology. The popular legal music streaming service had previously promised to add more devices to Spotify mobile, and has worked with Microsoft to port to Windows phones over the past few months.

The full list of features for Windows Phone includes:

Search, browse and play millions of tracks
Stream over WiFi or 2.5/3G - All your existing playlists are available
Offline playlists - Play your music without an internet connection
On-the-fly sync - Every track you add to a playlist appears on mobile and computer
What's New tab
Wirelessly sync your local files to your phone
Starred tracks - tag all your favourites into a special list

From what i can tell this is pretty much anothr microsoft spin on a non event, doesnt virtually every other phone platform already have access to spotify.

Way to spin a catchup.

Also there has been an unofficial spotify app since 2009 on windows mobile called myspot:

Although its since ended development, so the headline should read spotify take nearlly 3 years to write an offical app for the windows mobile playform.

Ummm.
