Spotify is the über-popular music service that lets you stream a huge library of music to your computer. You can also use the service on your iPhone with a premium subscription, letting you either sync and listen to your own music, or stream Spotify's tracks straight to your mobile device wherever you happen to be. The service just recently opened up an API for app developers, and a new app called SpotON Radio is one of the first to take full advantage of it. Unfortunately, it requires a premium Spotify subscription to work, but if you have one of those already, SpotON will let you listen to Internet radio stations, your own Spotify playlists, or any other music Spotify offers. The app uses "music intelligence" from Echo Nest for recommendations, and as you can see above, the display is clean and clear, which is always nice. If you already use the

It's January 6th, 2012, and today marks the end of the TUAW Best of 2011 awards. This was a massive undertaking, with 25 separate categories all requiring their own nominations and voting from our readers. We've learned some lessons for next year's event -- start earlier, watch for astroturfing in the nominations, drop some unpopular categories -- and the Best of 2012 will be even better. The editorial staff here at TUAW agreed with many of the reader picks, but we had our own opinions on some others. We want to thank all of the thousands of TUAW readers who took time to consider their favorite accessories and apps, nominate them for an award, and then vote in the competition. Without further ado, here's the full list of winners as well as our picks for the TUAW Best of 2011: Editor picks: 13" and 11" MacBook Air, 13" MacBook Pro Peripheral

During December and January, The Unofficial Apple Weblog is soliciting your nominations and votes for the best products for Mac, iPhone/iPod touch, and iPad. We'll start with nominations in a category, and then tally your votes for the top-nominated products a few days later. The winner in each category receives the highly-coveted title of TUAW Best of 2011. Today's category for nominations in the TUAW Best of 2011 awards is iPhone music apps. This is a huge area in the App Store, with apps that not only play music, but let you create music as well. This is also the last category for iPhone nominations. Apple's GarageBand (US$4.99) made it to the iPhone this year, turning your favorite phone (or iPod touch) into a music-making maniac. Smule's Magic Guitar (free) and Magic Piano (free) can make you a pocket musician in no time. Listening to music on Pandora (free) or Spotify

We've been covering a lot (a lot!) of iPhone games in this space, but of course there are many other types of apps on the App Store. MusicPound isn't a game -- rather, it's a music discovery app that's designed to compare your music library (on your iPhone, so you'll have to load music on there if you don't sync it usually) with someone else's. The app will give you a "Music Compatibility Rating," as well as chart your most played and favorite songs, and give you some insight on what kinds of music you both listen to. Obviously, the feedback here is mostly just for fun -- you're hopefully not going to keep or ditch a friend based on what this app tells you. But the app can give you some good recommendations based on what kind of music your friends like, and where your libraries intersect and diverge. And

Like the proverbial genie in the bottle, you can ask a lot of Dragon Go! and have a pretty good chance of the app granting your wish. Dragon Go! is the latest free app from Nuance, creators of Dragon Dictate for the Mac and Dragon Dictation for iOS devices. In this latest app, Nuance has delivered what they consider the next generation of voice search, and after several days of testing I have no reason to doubt it. Here's the deal. Speak just about anything to Dragon Go! and it will try to parse your meaning and bring up the right set of tools to complete your search. Ask for news about Libya, or news about Libya from the New York Times and the app complies. Ask for reservations for 2 at a favorite restaurant and Open Table is queried. Directions from your current location to the nearest hospital will launch

Music service Pandora is set to introduce its stock to the public tomorrow, becoming one more in a series of social networking and online service companies going with an IPO. Pandora isn't specifically an iOS company, of course, given that its music service runs both through browsers and on a number of platforms. But the company's iOS app has helped its profile. It's consistently stayed one of the top free apps on the App Store. The company's offering 14.7 million shares initially. Pandora's future wasn't ever in actual jeopardy, but certainly the value of the company's app was in question during the lead-up to last week's Apple keynote at WWDC. For a while, iCloud was rumored as being an iTunes streaming service like Pandora, allowing you to listen to your music collection through any iOS device. Those rumors turned out to be untrue so far. iCloud and iTunes Match are only

Careful watchers of the top charts on the App Store have noticed an interesting trend over the weekend with various apps inexplicably substantially changing position. Previously (and possibly still currently) Apple seemed to use the number of downloads an app had to form both the top free and paid lists. While this method might have made sense originally, gaming these download-only lists has turned into a remarkably profitable enterprise for those that have apps with a large install base which also have a way to push users into downloading other apps. If you've played a freemium game lately that offered some kind of benefit for downloading a completely different game, chances are the developer behind the title you're being incentivized into downloading paid the original developer a bucket full of money for that promotion. For both developers it's a win/win situation, one (often) gets a fat stack of cash while the

Hey app, did you just send my personal data or my phone's unique electronic identification number over the internet without my permission? Federal prosecutors in New Jersey are trying to answer this question in an ongoing investigation, the Wall Street Journal reports. The federal probe aims to discover if any apps built for iOS, Android or other smartphones are illegally collecting or transmitting personally identifying information, such as the phone's unique device identifier (UDID), to app makers or third parties without consent from end users. Gathering information that can be used to personally identify an individual without adequately disclosing what data will be collected and how it will be used could violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act designed to prosecute hackers. The investigation, which could continue for months, appears to be in a preliminary phase. In a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, the online music

This morning I spoke with Jessica Cole from Kanex, a two-year-old company which offers many products that add HDMI capability to your Mac. The current generation of their line adds audio pass-through via HDMI. The offerings range between the iAdapt HDMI V2 (US$29.95), a small box that plugs into Mini DisplayPort and allows you to plug in an HDMI cable, giving you audio support and 1080p video to a TV, projector or anything else with an HDMI input. I was shown the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI 10-foot cable ($44.95), which is sold exclusively at Apple stores and contains a 10-foot HDMI cable so that you don't have to buy and plug in your own. "We're very excited to have our product as an Apple Store exclusive," said Jessica (whose favorite three apps are Facebook, Pandora and Facegoo). The most interesting product that I found was the Kanex XD ($149.99), a magical

Yesterday, we went over the top 10 free iPhone Apps available on the App Store (the paid apps, too). It was a list of the most downloaded free applications of all time. While it may not always reflect the quality of each App, it does indicate their popularity. That said, there are also plenty of iPad Apps that are getting attention. Here's a List of the most popular: Pandora on the iPad is great for listening to music while you browse, or catch up on your RSS feeds. You simply search for the artist or music you want to listen to and hit play. There's a lot to listen to on Pandora radio, and it's a free App worth taking a look at. Much like Google Mobile for iPhone, Google mobile for iPad gives you a suite of Google applications within a single iPad App. You can search the internet

There are many people right now who received an iPhone or iPod Touch for Christmas this year. Many of them may or may not yet know their way around iOS, the operating system that those iDevices run on. Most essential, to begin with, are the Apps. You’ve all heard the old catchphrase “There’s an App for that.” Well, that’s because there often is. Let’s take a look at some the essential free iPhone Apps (or iPad and iPod Touch). Please note that the App descriptions are as they appear on the App Store: AOL Radio powered by CBS Radio features over 350+ free stations spanning dozens of music genres, including pop, urban, country, indie, jazz, oldies and rock.

The iPad makes a great entertainment device. Not only does it play games, it allows you to watch movies and TV shows. Apps like Netflix and the ABC Player are two favorites for that reason alone. It really is a great way to watch movies. What's more, Apps like Netflix work on an iPod Touch and an iPhone as well. Yes, it's a small screen, but it still looks great, and it's a nice way to watch a movie without disturbing others. Then there are Apps that stream music, Apps like Pandora radio. Entertainment-type Apps are some of our favorites. Let's take a look at the ones we love the most: This is the ultimate entertainment App on iOS. If you have a Netflix account and an iOS device, you need Netflix. If you have an iOS device, but no Netflix account…you need to consider jumping on board. If anything,

Hello everyone. I’m Alex Jordan, one of the new authors here at iSource. I thought I’d break the ice by telling you the top five iOS apps I can’t live without. So, let’s jump right in. Instagram is a unique social network, that as far as I can tell, stems solely from an iOS app. There is no website to go to, no other clients to access the service except for the official Instagram app. What is Instagram? Well, you take pictures, apply filters (or not), and post them, and view other’s photos. Like any other social network, you can comment on other’s posts, or “like” them. Think of it as “Facebook, but only for pictures.” On the surface it seems a little pointless, I’ll admit. However, you really should give it a try. It’s free, and easy to sign up. Surprise, surprise, Pandora Radio made the list. Yeah, Pandora has

Posted 11/08/2010 at 1:37pm | by J.R. Bookwalter Ever wonder what Apple themselves might consider the best of the best where apps are concerned? As it turns out, you don’t have to wonder any longer -- Apple has created a section dedicated to what they consider the best 50 apps. Opinions may vary from user to user as to what constitutes the best iOS apps, but Apple has some ideas of their own and they’ve created a new page of the best 50 in their opinion which they call the App Store Essentials Hall of Fame. It’s a great place for first-time users to immerse themselves in their new iOS device purchase with what many of us would consider the best apps ever made. “More than two years since launch, we’re many apps wiser,” Apple’s gold-hued banner (seen above) reads. “Presenting our ongoing collection of the very best of the best.”

Posted 10/04/2010 at 12:36pm | by Andrew Hayward Each new iPhone has offered fresh and fantastical ways to improve your daily life, but the epic tag-team of the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 deliver the greatest set of tools and features to date. With the introduction of FaceTime video calls, multitasking, and the high resolution Retina display, the iPhone 4 has moved even further away from being just a powerful phone and web-surfing device. Now more than ever, the iPhone is a true lifestyle-enhancing accessory. Between the built-in features and the hundreds of thousands of options in the App Store, not to mention a few key accessories, the iPhone 4 can be figuratively formed and changed to fit your daily needs, whether you’re planning your daily commute, knocking out items on your to-do list, or simply looking to try a new restaurant.

Alle paar Monate – in unregelmäßigen Abständen – halte ich meine ersten zwei Homescreen-Seiten vom iPhone in einem Bildschirmfoto fest. Dabei interessiert mich vornehmlich: Welche Apps haben sich in den vergangenen Wochen in eine vordere Positionen gekämpft und welche Programme sind (bei mir) komplett rausgeflogen. Die jeweilige App-Store-Software ist gleichzeitig auch immer eine kleine (Download-)Empfehlung. Der letzte Homescreen-Bericht stammt vom 04. Januar 2010. Durch das sommerliche iOS-4-Update, mit seiner neuen Ordner-Funktion, kam ordentlich Bewegung in die Homescreen-Sortierung. Mittlerweile besitze ich nicht mehr als zwei Homescreen-Seiten; starte die Programme jedoch größtenteils direkt über die Spotlight-Suche. Über weitere App-Store-Empfehlungen in den Kommentaren freue ich mich immer sehr!

For those of you who are like myself in the regard of not checking the App Store daily, the streaming sensation Pandora has updated its iPhone app. The largest feature implemented is the support for Retina Display. It does look nice. What’s New In This Version: I thought my usage of Pandora would greatly increase with the background capabilities, but I was mistaken. Perhaps it’s the lack of 3G in my area, which makes it’s functionality nearly unusable. Nevertheless, the update makes it look cleaner on my home-screen. How often do you use Pandora?

Ever since the inception of Napster over ten years ago, online and free music has been the pursuit of people everywhere. The rise and fall of various music-sharing sites and complicated legal battles has made the process of gaining unbridled access to all your heart’s content of music a difficult undertaking. Thankfully, the music industry is slowly warming up to free online music discovery, and below are great places to start when you want to hear your favorite song for free legally. There are a number of great sites for hearing free music online, but most limit your access to songs you own or offer random playlists of songs you may like. One site that rises above the rest in its ability to provide all the music you want is Grooveshark. The ad supported Grooveshark website offers full access to any song you can think of along with the ability to

Der US-Musik-Streamingservice Pandora überschreitet die Grenze von 60 Millionen Nutzern. Im letzten Dezember verzeichnete man noch 40 Millionen Musikfreunde. Nicht unwesentlich zum Erfolg trägt dazu das iPhone bei. Im Jahr 2008 betonte sein Gründer Tim Westergren, dass sich die Hälfte aller (damaligen) Neubenutzer von einem Apple-Telefon aus einwählten. Pandora läuft mittlerweile auf diversen Mobilfunkgeräten und mit der neusten iOS-Version (kostenlos; universal; US-Link) auch im Hintergrund. Natürlich weiterhin nur für legitimierte US-Kundschaft. Erschreckend, mit welchen Gewinnspannen (nach Goldman Sachs) Apple seine Mitstreiter RIM, Motorola, Nokia, HTC, und Sony Ericsson in die Tasche zu stecken scheint. Weil manchmal auch Gerüchte Spaß machen können: ‘Cult of Mac‘ berichtet, dass T-Mobile USA, der viertgrößte US-Mobilfunkanbieter, in diesem Herbstsemester als zusätzlicher Anbieter den Apple-iPhone-Deal an Land ziehen könnte. Die Tochtergesellschaft der Deutschen Telekom setzt wie AT&T auf das GSM-Netz, jedoch auf der unpopulären 1700(/2100) MHz-Frequenz. Derzeit ist darüber keine 3G-Verbindung zu beziehen und fraglich, inwieweit dies

Music subscription services never quite struck gold with Internet users, but now that the smartphone is becoming the era’s standard listening device, a new gold rush is on. Established music services like Rhapsody, Pandora and Slacker continue to improve mobile service, but they are suddenly facing new mobile music competition. Depending on a person’s phone, budget and listening habits, the new services may be a better call. The services seem to be converging on the same target — namely, apps that let users hear personalized radio stations, build play lists and store songs for offline listening. No service has all of these features for all mobile platforms, but they are making progress. Rhapsody’s Premier service ($10 a month), for instance, is great for iPhone users, good for people with Android phones and useless on a BlackBerry until Rhapsody’s BlackBerry app arrives later this summer. Users can create play lists or listen

By Ben Harvell on June 30th, 2010 Slacker Radio and Spotify receive the iOS 4 treatment While Pandora got the top billing when Apple demoed iOS 4 multitasking, other music services are also updating their apps to support background play. Multitasking in iOS 4 allows compatible apps to run in the background while another app runs in the foreground. Apps in the background can continue to perform tasks such as play music streams. Slacker Inc has announced that its personal radio application, Slacker Radio, has been updated to support multitasking and is available now for free on the App Store. The currently Europe-only Spotify is also headed for background-centric adjustment with the company announcing on its blog that an update has been submitted to Apple. The blog post goes on to suggest that a “surprise” will also be included in the update to thank users for their patience. As well as

We already spotlighted a few big apps that have made the jump to iOS 4 (and I'm sure we'll have more coming up soon), but Apple has gone ahead and put a few of its favorites on a page in iTunes for you to browse through as well. There are some excellent games on the list (PopCap didn't waste any time, and Ngmoco has a few, along with both Firemint titles). Art app Brushes and TUAW favorite Dropbox are there too, along with a bevy of other popular titles. This list definitely isn't definitive (iBooks is obviously ready for iOS 4, though it's not on there), but if you want to see what the Retina Display is like or check out multitasking on an app like Pandora, you can do so. One interesting note on what's not on there: Apple hasn't yet updated its official Remote app, and Texas Hold 'Em

The day has finally come. After 2 1/2 hours in the reserved line, I was able to walk out with the iPhone 4 up and running, albeit without contacts, music, videos or my app collection. Getting it home and synced was uneventful. iTunes detected the new phone and dutifully restored everything. A couple of reminders, however: First, some passwords won't survive the sync. I had to sign on to Pandora again, enter my email passwords once more, and tell my Navigon app that I did indeed purchase traffic and panorama view maps. Tapping their icons re-loaded them, but the panorama maps don't display properly just yet, while the regular 2D and 3D maps work just fine. Hopefully this will be part of a Navigon update that includes multitasking. Oh, and your Bluetooth devices will have to be re-paired as well. Speed increases are pretty obvious and very welcome. I could easily

The rush to update apps for iOS 4 is upon us, and for me one of the most important to become iOS 4 ready with support for backgrounding are the music streaming apps. And sure, there are lots to pick from these days, however I think most will agree that Slacker Radio and Pandora are two of the most popular. Well, in a little bit of good news for those that prefer to stream — both Slacker and Pandora have been updated and are iOS 4 ready. The Slacker update arrived yesterday evening with support for backgrounding. Plus the update is also noted as having “various improvements and enhancements.” The update for Pandora also arrived yesterday and included support for backgrounding as well as “other bug fixes and minor enhancements.” In short, you can now stream music while surfing the web or checking your email — and best of all —

Today is the day that all the wonderful things we heard about during the WWDC keynote regarding the future of the iPhone OS, now officially dubbed iOS 4, are available to everyone. This update is completely free, and only requires you to plug your device in to the computer you usually sync with then waiting for it to download and install in iTunes. There are over 100 new features in iOS 4 according to Apple, but so far my favorite two are folders and multitasking. With folders, you can now have up to 2160 apps on your device, and multitasking now allows for apps like Pandora Radio [Free] to continue playing in the background. For a listing of the other features, take a peek at the Apple iOS 4 Software Update page. One unfortunate thing to come out of this update is that first generation iPhone and iPod touch users are

by Now that iOS 4 is here, we wanted to take a look at some of the coolest new features. Multitasking has long been one of the most-requested features for the iPhone, and one application scenario has consistently been used to argue for multitasking support: Pandora. While users have always been able to listen to music while doing other tasks using the built-in iPod app, device owners who prefer to use a streaming service like Pandora haven’t been able to do so. That can make long trips — you know, those occasions where you might want to read a book or group of articles and listen to music — pretty painful. Fortunately, Pandora [iTunes link] is fully supported in iOS 4. We’ve put together this video illustrating how Pandora works on iOS 4. As you can see below, the application works great and integrates ingeniously with the iPhone’s new app switcher

We let you know a couple days ago there were a few apps that had already been updated via the App Store to support iOS4. Since then we’ve seen a few more roll out. Some developers have really taken advantage of the new APIs in iOS4. Others seem to just be adding compatibility at this point. Let’s hope a lot of them are working on substantial updates. Hit the jump for some more iOS4 compatible apps! Evernote (version 3.3.5) is one of the first I’ve seen to implement quite a few 4.0 APIs. Not only does it come complete with fast app switching integration, but your notes will also be able to sync in the background. This will be extremely useful for users who like to upload pictures. I’m always doing this when I’m comparing prices. I’ll take pictures of SKUs from different stores and tag them accordingly which allows me

The single most-used example of the benefits of multitasking with iOS 4 is the ability to stream Pandora music in the background. Well, the 3.1 version of the Internet music app finally makes that happen. The latest version of Pandora has a few minor bug fixes and minor enhancements but background processing is the big addition. “Backgrounding: Pandora keeps playing after you press press the home button. You can go surf the web or use Facebook and the music won’t stop. (Available only on multitasking capable devices with iOS 4.),” the company wrote in its app description. If you’ve never used the service before, it enables you to listen to various musical artists for free. You pump in an artist or song you like and Pandora streams you music that it thinks is similar to your tastes and interests. You cannot control the exact order of songs that are played and

With the launch of Apple's iOS 4 expected possibly within the hour if past releases are any indication, Pandora has just snuck in under the wire with an update to the company's [App Store] application. The popular service offering free, personalized music streams was one of the App Store's earliest success stories, and has been a favorite of Apple executives for their presentations. The new update brings the much-anticipated backgrounding feature first demoed at Apple's iOS 4 media event in April, taking advantage of the new multitasking APIs in iOS 4 to allow users to continue streaming music from the application even after switching away to other apps. Pandora keeps playing after you press press the home button. You can go surf the web or use Facebook and the music won't stop. (Available only on multitasking capable devices with iOS 4.)

Not a minute too soon! As expected, Pandora has updated the much-loved music app for the iPhone to version 3.1. This build will (drumroll) allow you to keep playing music when you move on to something else. Of course this will only work on devices that support multitasking on iOS 4, which means the iPhone 3GS and the new iPhone 4 available later this week. As I write this, Apple has just delivered the OS update for current iPhones, so those with the iPhone 3GS are good to go. This update will make a whole lot of people very happy. I tried out the 'music in the background' feature with the golden master of iOS 4, and it worked like a charm. Pandora did ask me to re-enter my password. Your mileage may vary on that one. Pandora!

Ahead of Thursday's release of the new and improved iPhone 4, Apple is today launching a series of software improvements collectively known as iOS 4 to owners of older generation iPhones and iPod Touch devices. iOS 4, the updated form of the iPhone operating system, brings over 100 new features, some big - like folders for apps and unified inboxes - some small - like home screen wallpapers and threaded email - and some - like multi-tasking - which your old iPhone may not be able to run at all. Announced in April during a presentation on Apple's Cupertino campus, iOS 4 delivers several long-awaited features for many iPhone users, the most important of which may be "multi-tasking," the ability for apps to run in the background while you launch and use additional applications in the foreground. Developers must first update their iPhone apps to take advantage of this new feature,

Pandora announced first advertisers for its iPad advertising platform – Starbucks, Lexus, and Budweiser. Each of the brands/companies prepared a campaign that features rich video, audio and interactive capabilities. Pandora’s advertising solutions allow companies to hyper-target consumers by gender, age, location, the type of music they like and time of day. Advertisers can take advantage of the platform to stream video, audio, direct response or experiential creative to a specific set of consumers, whether they’re using Pandora on the phone or a PC. I haven’t seen the new adverts, but it seems the three companies have prepared some cool campaigns. According to Pandora’s CEO, John Trimble – Starbucks, Lexus and Budweiser gone all out with eye-popping creatives. He went on to add: “Pandora users already engage with their Pandora application to the tune of eight times an hour, refining their stations or interacting with relevant advertising. We expect that engagement to

Welcome to the first of two late-breaking editions this week of iPhone + iPad Gems. Once again, we’re taking a rapid-fire look at a big collection of recently-released applications across a wide collection of different categories. Eight of the apps are either iPad-exclusive or developed solely to run on the iPad, while the other two are iPhone and iPod touch applications. Our top picks of the week are Amazing Animals: Savanna for iPhone, Photogene for iPad, and TiltShift Generator for iPad. Read on for all the details. Developed solely as an iPhone application, Tapitu’s new edutainment title Amazing Animals: Savanna ($2) still manages to look quite good when upscaled to the larger display of an iPad. Conceptually, Savanna is extremely simple, presenting you with an ultra-wide panning landscape filled with baboons, ostriches, zebras, elephants, antelope, and the like, allowing kids to scroll left or right through the collection, touch any animal,

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Pandora Success, they, say has many friends. Tim Westergren (founder) and Tom Conrad (chief technology officer), the guys who are the public face of the much-in-demand online music startup, Pandora, would undoubtedly agree. After struggling for most of its life, the company, whose service allows you to create a radio station based on the music you like, is suddenly a Silicon Valley darling. Such adoration was made clear at the f8 conference yesterday, when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg singled out Pandora’s service and its tight integration with the social networking site’s new platform. He’s not the only one who’s fallen in love with Pandora. A few weeks ago, it was showcased by Apple CEO Steve Jobs at the launch of iPhone 4.0 OS. Phone companies and even Ford talks about it in reverential tones. In short, Pandora is everywhere. And why not? According to Appitzr, Pandora

Wie Welt wächst zusammen, einigen Medienkonzerne halten weiter am Konzept des eingezäunten Nationalstaats fest. Nehmen wir alleine das App Store-Dilemma, das pro Land einen eigenen iTunes-Account erfordert. Für den Endanwender ist das schwer nachvollziehbar, wenn seit Wochen ein wirklich gelungenes Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 ($9.99; US-Link) im US-Store steht, hier aber nicht freigeschaltet wird. Ohne konkret nachgeforscht zu haben, wäre es mehr als ärgerlich, wenn die Veröffentlichung für diesen Titel hierzulande an irgendwelchen abstrusen Musiklizenzen scheitert. Natürlich darf die unterschiedliche Gesetzeslage nicht vergessen werden, die in Deutschland einen id-Softwareklassiker aus dem Jahr 1993 verbietet, der in Nordamerika ohne Probleme auf das iPhone wandert. Trotzdem lässt sich ein US-Account mittlerweile recht leicht beschaffen. Man wählt dazu über iTunes als Land die USA aus; erstellt sich über den Link einer kostenfreien App eine neue Apple ID, bei der als Zahlungsart None gewählt wird – so wie Apple es selbst erklärt.

Do you already own an iPhone or iPod Touch and are planning on buying an iPad, too? Then you need to know about the new "universal" applications now available in the iTunes App Store. These combo apps for Apple's line of mobile devices are basically "buy one, get one free" deals except for one small difference - both apps are bundled into one download. When you run the universal application on a small-screened device, you'll see the iPhone version and when you run the app on your iPad, you'll see the larger, iPad-only version. And these won't just be blown up, oversized iPhone apps either - they'll be custom designed apps made specifically for the iPad. When searching through the application store, you can identify the universal apps by the small plus sign that appears to the left of the application's price in the search results.

The great music recognition app, Shazam Encore, just got an interesting new update. On top of allowing you to get tour and ticket information for tagged artists, Shazam Encore & Shazam Red can now redirect you at will to your Pandora or Last.Fm app so you can hear more similar songs on the go. Furthermore, this update also allows you to access Shazam’s official Blog directly from the app. While Shazam is available pretty much everywhere, Pandora is still US only and Last.Fm is limited to the US, Germany and the UK, so no luck for the rest of you. Also, make sure to have Pandora or Last.Fm installed if you want to see the new functions appear.

Posted 12/30/2009 at 2:01pm | by Michael Simon When it comes to New Year’s Eve, it’s all about the party. From elegant, seven-course dinners to all-night drunken ragers, how you ring in the new decade sets the tone for the remaining 365 days; and since we don’t have the Macworld Expo to look forward to this year, the effects of a bad party can cast a particularly gloomy cloud over the first few weeks of 2010. But this year, you hold your own fate in your hands--literally.

The developer of digital HD Radio Technology iBiquity Digital Corporation is bringing HD radio FM broadcasts to all the iPhone and iPod Touch users. The trick is in the hardware-software combo – Gigaware Navigation Control HD Radio Receiver and Gigaware HD Radio application. iBiquity takes advantage of the iPhone OS 3.0 and newer, which allows applications to control external accessories. As a result, users can take their HD radio experience with them, tuning into HD2 and HD3 multicast channels while on the go. Alternatively, for the majority of us who are not audiophiles and who don’t want to pay $79.99 for the Gigaware HD Radio accessory, there are “good enough” apps like Pandora and FlyCast… Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry.

Michael (Admin) | Sep 1, 2009 User rating: ( votes, average: out of 5) Loading ... I know, I know, Pandora’s far from “new” but it recently occurred to me that there are a lot of truly clueless (and truly new) iPhone users out there! Despite Pandora’s perennial Top 25 placement, I still run into people here and there who have never heard of it. Maybe they don’t look at the App Store’s Top 25 list, maybe they don’t “get” internet radio, maybe they actually do live under a rock! Beats me. Since this app is widely considered to be the undisputed king of iPhone radio services, I’ll keep this short: if you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, get Pandora. No matter what you’re obsessed with, whether it’s Metallica or Taylor Hicks or The Beatles, Pandora will serve up music that’s either made by the object of your affection

No app, aside from the default Apple ones (like the iPod app), can run when it is not open. It is not Pandora's fault and they can't do anything about it. Stop posting reviews asking for this feature. Go to Apple's feedback page and request them let third-party applications run in the background instead.
The app is good. I only want to be able to 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' or bookmark songs that have already played.
Great

App is great. Wish it would be like the one for blackberry and play in the background, but that's apples fault. People that complain that they only want one band don't understand pandora.

Pandora is a fantastic, nifty little app based off of the orginal website service. It's a free program that let's you listen to radio stations starring artists you choose and similar artists. The service has no subscription, a great little interface, and despite a couple speedbumps, provides a fantastic service overall.
Pandora opens to a log-in screen. If you don't have a Pandora account, you can create on for free. Pandora users can then log straight into their account and listen to radio stations saved on the PC as well as add new ones.
Pandora allows you to listen to whatever artist you choose via search engine. Type the artist you want (i.e. Steve Vai) and it'll begin playing with a song by that artist. It'll also play songs by similar artists (like Joe Satriani or Jimi Hendrix) which is great for introducing various music artists.
You can rate the song with a thumbs up or thumbs down, or bookmark it to listen to a clip of it later. From there, you can search more songs in iTunes by that artist or buy that song from iTunes.
The whole interface is very streamlined and is very simple to understand and use. You can double tap the artwork (which is often high quality) and see that band's bio. You can even tilt the iDevice on it's side to view the album artwork for all the songs you heard. It's very smooth and suffers little from bugs.
However, the app does struggle occasionally, and it can be a bit jarring. Listening to music over cellular networks is either a little bit low quality or it skips, though it fares much better on Wifi. Also, the app only allows you to listen to music while it is open and the iDevice unlocked, so no jamming to new music by Mr. Scruff while playing old school Rolando. Sorry.
Despite it's couple setbacks, the app Is a fantastic companion to new music searchers and those who can't afford new iTunes gift cards very often. Pandora should satisfy any music junkie's craving for new tunes, and will easily fit on your iDevice with it's free pricetag and small size.

Bug Fixes Cause App to Double in Size?
ADobkin
Version: 2.0.4
Version: 2.0.4
I am a big fan of Pandora and have used the iPhone app since it was first released. But something is fishy about the latest update.
The "What's New" list simply says "bug fixes", but that doesn't explain why the app has almost doubled in size:
version 2.0.3 = 680 KB,
version 2.0.4 = 1,190 KB
You might think, who cares? It is still only 1 MB, which is not much. If there were new features added, then it might make sense and wouldn't be an issue. But this is very suspicious to simply have "bug fixes" causes such huge bloat. Pandora needs to either provide a better explanation for the increase or re-post the update at the former size.
Warning vis-a-vis Privacy!
Thothamon
Version: 2.0.4
Version: 2.0.4
I am going to delete Pandora. Today I got an email whose title indicated that they used my personal, saved preferences in music to generate the email's title. I found this to be a complete invasion of my privacy in that they used information that was given strictly to run the program as a marketing tool. This is perhaps within the boundaries of their privacy agreement (I do not know if it is or not) but it is certainly not the way I want a program to work that resides on one of my platforms. Be aware that if you use Pandora and set up channels for yourself that all this information apparently goes not just to their music servers but to their marketing gurus as well. Goodbye Pandora!
Medialets are nothing new. They were in Pandora before this update.
Doug1965

Version: 2.0.4
I love Pandora on my iPhone, then and now. I use it at home and on the road, while running, while working out. It's great to be able to set a mood using a station/channel I have predefined. Neither the quality, nor the experience, has worsened from this update, as far as my sensitive ears can tell, and I hook my iphone into my home stereo at times to listen to Pandora, listening to it right now after the update to 2.0.4 and just love it. Listening to Enya and Lisa Kelly. Arguments that Medialets have suddenly ruined the app are crazy. They've been here for a while and are much more prefered to the audio commercials Pandora runs on the computer web browser version I used to listen to. Somehow Pandora has to monetize the service they provide or they will go away, it's a fact of business life. Also, those of you shorting Pandora for not adding background run capability need to do a little research on the iPhone itself.
WARNING - Medialets!! Do not upgrade!!
XenophageXXX
Version: 2.0.4
Version: 2.0.4
I've been using pandora on my iPhone for over a year, listening to it DAILY to and from work in my car, around my house and out and about. I would recommend it to my friends all the time... that is until this last update.
The newest update added what's called Medialets, which track your behavior, and send all kinds of personal data about you to advertisers. The update was very misleading, stating that it was for "bug fixes", that's a lie. They decreased the audio quality (presumabley to coddle AT&Ts whining about their network usage), there's a very obtrusive message at the onset of the application, as well as the presence of Medilets.
I will not be using Pandora any longer. I will hide the icon (thank you BossPrefs), and unless the last ipdate us reversed, I'll be deleting it in 1 month. Hello Slacker Radio.
Oh, and for all you tard monkeys who keep complaining about the lack of backgrounding, either j@1lbre@k and install backgrounder, or bring your beef to Apple, it's their fault this isn't an option. The only thing third party apps are allowed to do, is "Save state", which essentially pauses the application until you open it again.
It pains me to do this, because I really like Pandora on iPhone, but I'm giving you 1 star, at least be honest, seriously.
Excellent!!

When I came home from college I discovered that radio in my town was awful, so I started listening to NPR and talk radio AM all the time. I almost never listened to FM music stations. Then I got an iPod and stopped listening to the radio all together. Until I discovered Pandora.com I had nowhere to find new music that wasn't commercialized crap. Now I don't have to be at my office or my desk at home to get this amazing source of great new music. I am so, so, so excited to see a Pandora app for my iPhone! God bless you Pandora!!!

This application is awesome! I use it several times a day! However, the fact that one cannot leave it running while checking email or typing SMS is a huge negative! It is not Pandoras fault but Apple's! Still, for most apps I can understand why Apple doesn't allow multitasking, but it does NOT make sense for this app! This Apple policy should be evaluated on a case to case basis! That would be much more sensible!

By far the most incredible radio experience ever online - you customize your music just by creating stations based on your favorite artists. YES it does work over the EDGE (although takes initially longer to load than wireless), it is better than Satellite Radio because it is music you like, not preset stations! I have found so many more artists I love through this program, thank you!!!

I was truly shocked by how great this application was. All I did was type in the name of the first band that came to mind (In my case, Linkin Park) and the stream of A+++ alternative / rock songs never stopped.
My jaw dropped..

..when I saw this on the App Store! This has been a dream of mine to get Pandora on my iPhone ever since I was waiting in line last year for iPhone 1.0 : )
The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star App is something admittedly out of Pandora's control; the music quits as soon as you switch Apps, and you can't pick up where you left off. This is a limitation put upon all 3rd party Apps unfortunately.

I've never heard of Pandora before, but the music choices made are incredible! The song selection is better than what i've heard on satellite radio, and having this app work over edge makes it even better.
One Of The Top Reasons To Get iPhone 3G

The Pandora Internet Radio client for the iPhone works incredibly well. The team has done a great job of making it feel just like the iPod application. It even keeps playing music if you lock your phone. However, you cannot listen to music and use other applications like you can with the iPod app. This isn't Pandora's fault though, and is a limitation of the SDK for the iPhone. The program works flawlessly over a Wifi network, with no lag what so ever. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Pandora did not limit you to wifi however, and was able to (poorly) stream music over Edge. About ever 30 seconds the iPhone would have to wait and catch up. I would imagine that this would not be the case on the iPhone 3G however, so if you're looking for another selling point for Apple's latest Super-Phone, then consider Pandora on the go one of them.
FINALLY!

I have been waiting for Pandora for so long. The website is flash based so of course I haven't been able to use it on my iPhone, but now with this app I can get the full experience of Pandora in what is a seemless integration between apple software and the BEST music program out there. The music plays just like the iPod on the iPhone and for those hooked up to Wi-Fi connections you can purchase the song your listening to from iTunes right away. Not good for wallets. The only problem I have with it is you cannot continue playing the music while you do other things. As soon as you hit the home button the music stops. You can however play music and lock your phone which is good for those of us who run or work out and would like to listen to something new. Thats what Pandora does, it lets you listen to something new, and rarely am I ever dissapointed by something I hear. Everyone should get this app. ITS FREE! Experience new music, FULL SONGS not snippets, FOR FREE!
Very stable and usable app.

This is the best app on the appstore. Used it for 30 mins sessions, never crashed. I still can not believe that I can listen to Pandora anywhere now. This is one app that I will use everyday.
This is simply amazing.

Pandora Radio is an amazing, must-get application for the iPhone. I initially didn't want to pick up any radio stations at all, but I was given a huge recommendation from a friend on Twitter earlier in the day so I checked it out. After about five minutes of playing around with it, I fell in love. This is a customizable, personalized radio station application. You input artists you love listening to, and Pandora constructs "stations" around the chosen artists' genre, sound and style. I would gladly pay for this application and give it a very high recommendation.
Works over Edge!

It works flawlessly over the Edge network driving down the highway! Even in areas of weak signal. Worth $9.99 ... Oh wait, it's free.
