Sprint has just announced they will be the first carrier to launch Pandora on their phones. Pandora allows users to create custom radio stations and save up to a 100 of them.”Pandora is like that one friend who everyone wants to have – someone who really knows and loves music and who can recommend a long list of bands and songs after you mention what you’ve been listening to lately,” said Jeff Luther, director of entertainment wireless data for Sprint. “Pandora is a great way to break out of the same songs on your playlist and hear some new music that you may have never found otherwise. It’s the latest example of the many innovative ways that Sprint delivers music on the one device people carry with them throughout the day.”
Just a note for our Canadian readers, we currently don’t have any access to Pandora as they have block all IP’s outside of the US due to licencing agreements.
