SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- San Antonio-based web developer MSDC Development announces the launch of its free iPhone™ app, "MiJay" (pronounced "MEE-jay," like deejay). The innovative new social networking application connects friends through the music on their iPhones, allowing them to view and compare music and playlists in real time.

"Think of it as Facebook for your music," says developer Dustin Clark of MSDC Development, whose team created the app over the last six months. "No other mobile application integrates the social aspects of music. It seemed logical to us to introduce an app that addresses the desire to connect through music, while tapping into the power of iTunes, one of the main features of the iPhone."

MiJay for iPhone offers the following features:

live view of what's playing on your friends' iPhone or iPod Touch
see your friends' iPod, music, albums, artists, genres and songs
view your friends' listening history
compare your iPod to your friends' iPods
invite new friends using Facebook Connect
comment on your friends' music
download new music
post your listening history to your Facebook page
preview songs from within the app

Future releases will offer the following new features:

location integration
celebrity users
links to YouTube videos
iTunes, Billboard and last.fm charts
MiJay playlists

"Our test group absolutely loved the app. We are finding that the users who have downloaded the app are using it on a daily basis. We plan to integrate more features in the near future and expand to other mobile platforms like Android." Clark says the company is already making money from commissions paid by Apple for selling music, and its potential is limitless. "Knowing what music your friends own are listening to is something that people really seem to enjoy. We're glad that we were able to capture the experience in an innovative new way for our users."

MiJay works on any iPhone or iPod Touch running OS 3.0 or greater.
