XM/Sirius, your days are numbered.

Just got Pandora working in my car, via a $15 adapter-cable (hoo-ee 2.5mm to 3.5mm stuff is hard to find!) from Best Buy.

It's like satellite radio, except I can say 'Fuck that!' and just skip a song, instead of having to change the whole station. And no ads, ever. =^.^=

Don't you kinda need an internet connection to listen to Pandora? o.O

BlackBerry 8###/9###'s, the Palm Pre, Windows Mobile HTC's, and iPhones can all run Pandora Mobile in the US and it works quite well for me at least. I'll be road-testing it on my drive to Mephit FurMeet for 'rural' use as well, but for metropolitan-use it's awesome.

Obviously you need a 3G-level unlimited data plan since it gobbles down a stream that hits up to 24kbyte/second just for the audio stream.

What it is, Pandora?

Pandora

It streams music, guessing what you will want to hear based on what you'd liked and hated. You can 'seed' it with entire artists, or individual songs you like, and can have multiple separate 'stations' on the service. I have a 'driving music' with stuff like Turbo Lover, and a blues/southern rock station with Creedence and Blues Traveller on it, for example.
