Pandora Opened Its Box

I’m not sure why I didn’t say anything about this yesterday, especially considering that it was being talked about everywhere. Pandora has launched a redesigned site, and has a new plan. They are now pushing for Pandora Everywhere. This includes a new deal with Sonos and one with Sprint. The Sprint service will allow you to listen to Pandora via your Sprint phone through Pandora’s phone app. The service is free for the first 30 days, and then will run a few bucks a month after that. This will be considered a premium account, so you won’t have the ads anymore. I haven’t tried this out yet, but I probably will soon. They also are in talks to release a portable Wi-Fi player. This would enable you to have Pandora radio anywhere that has Wi-Fi without having to have a full computer. All of these sound great, though I don’t know how much they’ll take off. I hope they do well, though, as I really love Pandora.
