The Pandora Android app is expected to be released soon, however, iPhone users can already avail themselves to the beefed up application on Monday. The company has said that a similar app for Microsoft Windows Phone 8 will be released around next year.
The company gains profits from advertising revenue, keeping their service for free. Internet company investors have always been concerned about free online service's ability to earn anything from using mobile advertising, but Pandora seems to disprove any of those worries as a lot of people are very excited to use the new apps.

Listeners can conveniently choose the particular genres that they wish to listen to for free using internet radio. It has become one of the best online tools in helping listeners discover new music every day. The internet radio company has currently 175 million listeners, which subsequently makes Pandora claim a share of 73 per cent of the free online radio market.
