Anyone on here ever use Pandora?? They make a mobile version for a few other phones on at&t and sprint. Wondering if anyones created anything for wm6.1?

I use it at work to listen to stuff I like and get random stuff in the mix.. I think it would be a waaaaay better substitute for the radio in my car... Yes I do listen to my own music saved on my phone but Pandora would awesome.

There is currently no way to listen to Pandora streams on your WM6.1 phone. Pandora says there is an app in the works, but that it is very difficult to program for a platform that appears on many different forms of hardware. (basically, a cop out) This likely means that it won't be out for a while, if ever.

Yeah I sent them an email asking if they were working on anything and surprisingly they emailed me back in 2 days and said they were working on it blah blah... sounded like a cop out I agree.

Yeah good luck. If Adobe releases Flash 9 for PPCs then we might have a chance.

It really is a Cop Out. I don't see why it would be too hard to make a program that works on many windows mobile hardware. After all, just like on a computer its windows that does most of the talking to the hardware.

Has anyone tried using it with Flash 3.1 (Based on Flash 9) on the Diamond? I tried on my Vogue and it seems like it wants to work but it runs out of memory and also doesen't scale down (Could be something in the script that prohibits that).

I have my suspicions about Pandora's delay in supporting WM. They came out with IPhone support quickly, a new platform, but are having difficulty with WM which has been around for several years? Makes me wonder if there is some sort of agreement with Apple to delay or block a WM version. I hope a third party app comes along like the support for Sirius did. In the mean time I'll just have to make do with thousands of streams and files.
