iPad App?

We may consider doing an iPad-specific app in the future, however we're not ready to announce anything at this time. In the meantime, our iPhone app should work fine on the iPad.

My guess (from limited technical experience of the iPad) is "no"... I think/assume it has the same firmware restrictions as the iPhone/iTouch, i.e. Apple won't allow applications to access the music library on the device. The only workaround on iPhone/iTouch is via jailbreaking, which is obviously not recommended and I don't even know if an iPad is jailbreakable yet (it's certainly not the first thing I'd do with my expensive shiny new toy).

in theory it should work... Haven't tried it yet... (haven't got one!) but I will be porting it when I can get my hands on one in the uk!

I think any company that has the ability to build an iPad app, and is NOT currently doing so, is a foolish one -- and is throwing away a huge opportunity to build their customer base and increase revenue.

However...with the severe limitations that the current iPhone Last.fm app has, there seems little point in making a full-screen version that's exactly the same, just for the iPad. As frustrating as the iPhone version is, I'm sure an iPad version would seem even more ridiculous.

The ability to scrobble songs being played live in the iPad's iPod needs to be figured out first before there should ever be an iPad app, IMO -- otherwise it will just seem silly. Last.fm will tell you it's not currently possible to scrobble this way, even though there are other apps (iScrobble) which can apparently do it (albeit not in the most elegant way...but at least it's possible). Also, more Last.fm website features like shouts and inbox would be needed within an iPad app to beef it up -- but then again you can just go to Last.fm in the iPad's Safari browser for that stuff. So it seems like there's little point for the Last.fm team to make an iPad app unless it does something truly unique like being able to scrobble iPod songs.

Hopefully that day will come soon...

This has got to be the most frustrating bs ever. I'm jail breaking this mother.

I really hope Last.fm is planning an iPad app at this point. Pandora did a fantastic job with their iPad app. I have it running non-stop at my desk.

I agree

Last.fm needs to step it up and compete

Pandora already has an iPad specific app.

I love last.fm

But it looks terrible on the ipad :)

I'd love an iPad app, especially one that works in the background with OS 4.0 later this year.

seems like a missed opportunity to update the app for ipad - the curret iphone app looks very wrong on an ipad and it has limited content & functionality.

chop chop - I pay for a subscription. this schnizzle I expect for giving my you my cash.

ta, your loyal user

Does iScrobble Premium allow me to scrobble tracks in realtime even if the app isn't open?
