I can’t believe they created an app for iphone before android. What an insult to rhapsody users who shun itunes and iphone/pod products. If itunes created a subscription option I think I would just drop rhapsody. This is one company who doesn’t get it at all.

I love Rhapsody and Android’s potential, but can’t fault Real Networks at this stage for doing an iPHONE app first since it holds 50%+ smart phone marketplace vs. Android’s 5% share. Rhapsody is fantastic and getting adoption on the Apple platform is vital for it gaining momentum. I gladly pay the $14.99 for the flexibility of To Go subsciption and Apple users will find it equally as great as longtime PC fans have for the past few years.

CMON this is ridiculous….the Iphone app has already been out for a while. Jason above spoke about the market share…to me a long term Rhapsody custoemr way back when it was jukebox ..Im not very sympathetice. The android OS is more accepting of these types of apps…why create the app for iphone first, to entice people to their competitors. Doesnt make sense. But either way, they could also be developing the Android App at the same time, and then atleast release to market at the same time.

I am a Rhapsody long time paying customer. WHY am I not subject to the same benefits as other custoemrs on Iphone?? Just want them to get the app out.
