Will music service Spotify last 2010 as Apple inevitably will move iTunes to a cloud based service?

Popular music streaming service Spotify made a great start in 2010 attracting a lot of attention for its 'free' music streaming  model. Once downloaded the Spotify app is able to stream music from it's vast library without the need to download music tracks like iTunes. In short, it's pretty cool. With the launch of their iPhone app it became even cooler through 2009. 

However Apple have recently acquired Lala.com, a similar music streaming service. What are they up to? Clearly it's time to look at the possibilities around using your iTunes library from the cloud. 

Check out some interesting possibilities for a streaming Apple service here. 

So with Spotify not yet launched in the US, will Apple get the upper hand in 2010 which will inevitably trump Spotify?
