Listen to your wrist -- Pandora comes to Apple Watch
On a day when Apple Watch is once again in the news, more information is becoming available about what you can expect from this latest fashion statement for your wrist. The success or failure rides largely on apps, as it does with phone and tablet platforms. Now Apple has one more to boast about for its launch, as Pandora steps forward.
Pandora has a history of being there for Apple, as it was ready for launches of both iPhone and iPad. This time around will be no different -- when you pick up that watch later this month Pandora will be waiting for you.
"The Apple Watch represents another opportunity for Pandora to be available anytime and anywhere to our more than 81.5 million monthly users in order to deliver the most personalized music experience ever while also making discovery as effortless as possible", says Pandora's Chris Martin.
The watch will display all of the relevant information. This means that if you are listening to Pandora while doing some activity, say running, a quick glance at your wrist will tell you artist and song title. Pandora claims it's interface will be as simple and intuitive as possible.
"We are always on the lookout for the devices that are going to be immensely popular, and we feel that the Apple Watch marks another occasion to provide the best lean-back music experience", Martin concludes. The statement is, of course, speculative. With pre-orders only just opening and prices rather high, it remains to be seen what sales will really be like.
For Pandora's part, it simply claims that it hopes to learn more about the wearable technology field from this experience.
