Report claims Apple looks to integrate Shazam into iOS

A recent report from Bloomberg claims Apple plans to integrate the song recognition feature of Shazam into future iteration of iOS. It would be similar to how the mobile platform is integrated in Twitter without the need to download a separate app. It will also be able to use  Siri to name a song you hear instead of having to open an app. This could be a handy feature if the rumours will ever be confirmed. Perhaps Apple's upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference will bring this rumour to light or debunk the report.
