Pandora is number 5 today on the top downloaded free apps for iPhone.
Pandora is a great free iPhone app. If you're not familiar with pandora.com you should be. It's been one of the best ways, if not the best way, to listen to music on the web. The basic idea is that you create your own online radio stations by "seeding" a station generator with a song or an artist. (You can add to your seeds later if you want.) You can have as many stations as you wish, email your stations, etc. It calls itself the "Music Genome Project" because its algorithms are based on applying criteria ("DNA") from a list of hundreds of critieron to each song and artist of its tens of thousands of songs. I've had terrific results on my radio stations and a couple are absolutely killer.
So with the release of iPhone OS 2.0 and the new App Store Pandora has provided a free client with a killer interface that looks (is?) like the iPod interface, and shows album covers and the whole nine. Hooked my iPhone up to a Bose Wave the other day and got terrific, quality music for a couple of hours.
Two thumbs up!!!

Are ya KIDDING ME??? I was DYING for BlackJack to support Pandora! I've been using the online site for years. After a while the thing knows your taste so well it's spooky. HIGHLY recommend this, I'm gonna go git it right now!
Tell me about it! I actually tried to pay for Pandora on my mobile based on their promotion a while back. They send you an SMS message with a code. I couldn't get it to work! Good thing.
