The music video website VEVO has launched a native iPhone app today, giving users a way to access the service’s millions of music videos on the go.
Vevo, launched last year as a joint venture by YouTube, UMG and Sony Music, has reached over 1.1 billion streams, with almost 60 million unique visitors in the U.S. and Canada, monthly.
The service has licensing deals with Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI Music, ABKCO, Beggars Group, Big Machine Records, CBS Interactive Music Group, Concord Music Group, Hollywood Records, Lyric Street Records, Razor & Tie Entertainment, Ultra Records, Walt Disney Records, Wind-up Records, Caroline Distribution, Fontana Distribution, INgrooves, IODA, RED, SAAVN and The Orchard.
Vevo’s app is pretty straightforward, giving users the option to search for music videos, as well as filter through top video, premieres, new artists, artists on tour, and “nearby” videos that are hot in your city.
Any video debuting on Vevo.com will be available simultaneously via the app.
Unfortunately for users with iOS 4.0 installed on their iPhone/Touch, the app cannot multitask, yet.

T-Mobile has teased their upcoming flagship smartphone, the G2, the first phone to access the carrier’s extremely fast HSPA+ data network.
The phone is expected to be the long-awaited successor to the T-Mobile G1, the world’s first Android device.
T-Mobile posted the teaser page today, although it gives little details.
Says the site: The T-Mobile® G1® was the world’s first Android™ -powered phone. Launched nearly two years ago, it created an entirely new class of mobile phones and apps. Its successor, the T-Mobile G2™ with Google™, will continue the revolution.
The T-Mobile G2 will deliver tight integration with Google services and break new ground as the first smartphone designed to run at 4G speeds on our new HSPA+ network. In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details about the G2 and offer exclusive first access to current T-Mobile customers.
Multiple sites have gone wild with speculation on the specifications, and a few have said the device will have dual 1.2GHz processors, a first for phones, as well as incredibly powerful. Additionally, a leaked T-Mobile memo seems to point to a September release.
T-Mobile says the device has “a theoretical peak capability of 14.4 Mbps.”
We will keep you updated.
