"RealNetworks is looking to leverage Apple's App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch to get its digital music subscription service to iPhone users around the world. But will Apple allow the iTunes competitor a place on its devices?
Over the weekend, Real announced plans to submit its on-demand, streaming music application for the iPhone and iPod Touch to Apple for review. Real is betting that although not everyone who uses an iPhone is a Rhapsody subscriber, many music lovers will find the app appealing.
'There is nothing quite as satisfying as needing to hear a certain song right now and being able to scratch that itch. That's what we aim to do, and now it'll be easier than ever,' said Real's Lacy Kemp. 'I can't even count the number of times I've wanted to hear a song on my iPhone and guiltily plopped down 99 cents to iTunes to please my impatient self. When I first used the Rhapsody app, it seriously felt like the sun shone a little brighter that day. Music matters that much.'"
