“Apple is good in a closed ecosystem–their devices are prettier and easier to use,” says Daren Tsui, mSpot CEO and co-founder. ”What’s clever about Android is that it’s a group of very large companies going up against Apple. With the cloud play, a similar thing will happen. Apple will have its iCloud with fans down to the core, where all their devices are Apple and they’ll be content with iCloud. But for many, you may have an iPad as well as an Android smartphone. Our ecosystem is perfect for you because we work on both devices. We’re going to focus on both in the event you own a non-iOS device and still want access to your music.”
