Spotify video streaming service launching this week

As rumored, Spotify is launching a video streaming service to compliment its popular music streaming, and the product is ready to launch this week.
Reportedly, the service will have a 'heavy' mobile presence, launching for Android first and then on iOS next week. Spotify has been private beta testing the service in the US, UK, Germany, and Sweden for a few months.

Subscribers will be able to stream video from popular partners including Comedy Central, ESPN, MTV, BBC and Maker News.

At this point, however, it is still unclear what type of video content will be available and whether it will be exclusive. We should certainly have a better idea soon if the service really is launching this week.
