Who else would love to see Apple officially support Pandora by adding a Pandora tab under the "Source" area? With the huge success of Pandora on iPhone, why not take it one step forward and bypass using a web browser to access Pandora on the Mac. The advantage would be ease of use, not having to keep Safari running to listen and being able to minimize the window without Pandora acting up. Also it would turn a lot of users onto Pandora that still haven't heard of it. Pandora in return would be able to still have an ad space somewhere within the iTunes window to keep it's funding. Also Apple would be stoked to have people clicking the "Buy Song on iTunes Store" with near instant results. No more Safari launching iTunes. This of course is purely speculation. Let's hope Apple and Pandora can strike a deal. I am sort of worried record labels wont like Pandora once it gets even bigger then it is now. I bet at&t steps in and blocks Pandora over 3G/ Edge sometime soon. They aren't making much money off of all the bandwidth Pandora uses. Either at&t is going to put a stop to the iPhone/iTouch fun with Pandora or it will be the greedy record labels claiming unfair use. Satellite Radio (Sirius/ XM) better watch it's back too. :cool:
