RunKeeper for iOS integrates Spotify into app

RunKeeper knows how well music and running work together. That’s why the app now integrates the streaming music service Spotify. The feature will be available for Spotify premium users. It’ll let you open music right from RunKeeper’s start screen. You don’t just get access to your playlists, too. The app will even suggest top workout playlists for you. It’s currently only available for iOS though. We won’t be surprised if it’ll make its way to Android pretty soon.

Sony drops Music Unlimited service

After failing to become a viable option for Apple’s iTunes, the Sony Music Unlimited service will be shutting down on March 29. This will be done ahead of the launch Spotify for PlayStation Music, which will be available in 41 regions and in countries like Canada, United States, Brazil, and Mexico. Those with an active subscription with Music Unlimited can still use it past March 29. Music Unlimited was first introduced in 2010 on PlayStation Network and then other platforms but it really wasn’t able to pull more clout like other streaming services.

HTC reportedly testing Firefox OS

Firefox OS is far from top of mind when it comes to thinking about mobile operating systems. But if rumours are to be believed, HTC is planning to test the OS for its phones. According to @upleaks, some developers from the Taiwanese brand are working on porting Firefox OS to different HTC devices. Again, this is all just a rumour at the moment and HTC isn’t commenting on the story yet. It would be interesting though what kind of smartphone they can come up with if this happens.
