I’m delighted to announce that today we’re finally ready to extend the Pandora experience to Android. As of today Pandora is available directly from Pandora at www.pandora.com/android as well as in the Android Market.
I’m really excited about how Pandora for Android turned out – listen to all the same Pandora stations that you’ve been listening to on the web. The application is also deeply integrated with many of the core Android features: control playback from a home screen widget, “deep tap” any artist or song in the standard Android music player and jump into Pandora to discover other similar artists, make a smart folder to get quick access to your stations from the home screen, buy tracks you discover from the Amazon MP3 application, use your Android address book to share stations with your friends, and of course listen in the background while you’re doing other things on the phone.
I know this has been a really long time coming and I’d like to thank all of you for your patience. Hope you enjoy the app.
And yes, for those that have been following the story since the beginning, I do in fact need a “hole in the head”

Geez! I thought it would take longer. I went with the iphone.
Only thing android needs now is Audible.com support and I’d switch at the end of my contract. An jailbroken iphone is great… but I think I’d love to try a Android phone after it supports everything I use.

Thank-You for supporting this. It is a feature that is truly needed and to be able to listen to it in the background without having to be rooted or jail broken is a major plus. It does seem to have a few stability issue (at least on the Sprint HTC Hero). Several of them are listed in the Market comments. It seems if I skip/thumbs down two or three songs in a row it will almost always lock up. And, once it is locked up the only way to get it going again seems to be to reboot the whole phone.
The Widget is a GREAT bonus and to be honest the above issue seems to happen less from the widget than from the main application. I’m not sure that seems logical but it does seem true in practice.

Great! I’m looking at Android to be the OS of my next smartphone. However, in the meantime, I bide my time on my Windows Mobile smartphone using a hacked version of Pandora that works with it, because the official Pandora application doesn’t support it.
Any chance that maybe, someday, ALL Windows Mobile users (including people with SQUARE SCREENS >:/ ) will be supported — for free?

Since Android users hijacked the WebOS thread
Is there an update for the Palm devices coming that will fix some of the bugs that were introduced in 1.3? (Like the notification bar controls etc…)
Thanks!

Why Android but not Wii? I love Pandora and would subscribe if I could listen to it on my wii. I’d even pay to download the Pandora program from the Wii Store. There is already an internet browser with flash for the Wii, and my understanding is that the only reason my browser crashes when I try to load the Pandora page is that it doesn’t have enough memory. But surely a low memory version of Pandora could be created… why not when there is a bigger market for that than a lot of the cellphones that it has been created for?

My contract is up on my iPhone and I am jumping ship from AT&T. The bandwidth- or lack thereof has driven me to Android. Icing on the cake is finding my favorite music site will be supported!! I know I am a few months late in weighing in, but it wasn’t exactly something I looked into due to being locked into my contract. See you on the other side:)

I am trying to download the Pandora apps to a nexus one through an internet connection in China, but i get 404 error from pandora.com and android market doesn’t show it either. Is the app only available in certain countries?

Hi Tom
I was wondering if javascript interaction with Pandora player is possible (login, log out, play, pause, skip, like, dislike, list stations, listen to station, create station, and so on). If so, is it documented anywhere? Thanks

Hi Tom. I wanted to contact you about a new startup we are working on for your advice and guidance. It is going to be the Pandora of food. I apologize this is the only way I could find to contact you. Would you be interested to chat with us? Would love to hear back from you.

Android seems to be really gaining some ground now and Pandora is great but I think there are a lot of people still not fully aware of what this can do yet, are there any plans to expand for uk use?
