WTF?! Why is WM getting screwed by Pandora? They release their app for FREE for the iphone but won't just release an app for WM. They have some deal w/ Sprint and at&t so we have to pay $2.99 a month and $8.99 a month, respectively. But whats really f'ed up is that at&t is only charging WM users and not their precious iphone! Screw Pandora. I'm done with them, greedy bastards.


rant over.

I don't mind them selling their mobile apps, but a monthly fee is freaking ridiculous. Granted, the carriers are probably the ones responsible for the monthly fee but Pandora could have chosen to just release the app themselves and charge a one time fee for it. It just annoys the crap out of me that the iphone is the only phone that gets it for free.

I really want Pandora on my WinMo Sprint phone, but I refuse to pay for a service that comes free on the internet. It's this kind of unfair treatment that makes people hack, torrent, and do whatever is necessary to get access to stuff.

Ya.. I would even pay to be a pandora premium member but to get ripped off like that is bad, esp. when iphone gets it for free

I read somewhere where they pay for song usage like a radio station. The advent of the iphone/touch app was causing them a great deal of financial difficulty. I love the app and would pay a small monthly fee for it(around 1-2 bucks) or something like 10 bucks for a yearly superscription. I would never pay 8.99 a month, that's just dumb IMO.

I think you are right on that regards.. The cost to steam each song, royalty rates, I think increased.. I am not sure though... Until then, I just go here for my FM radio streaming needs...

Well Pandora is ad-supported. You can become a premium member to get rid of the ads for $36 which I would do. Sprint phones cost $2.99 / month I think, but gives you full pandora premium membership, so it is breakeven. Too bad Sprint doesnt have a WM client.

Why would you use that when you have the feature-rich Kinoma player
