Pandora on the iPhone
Pandora has updated their iPhone app - and it really shows. I've been listening to Pandora on the iPhone over the last few days using nothing but the slow iPhone 1.0 edge network - and so far it works seemlessly - no stutters or pauses (except for an initial buffering of the very first song on a stations).
Pandora has done an excellent job at bringing their simple, one-button personalized radio to the iPhone. Check out Pandora's demo video to see how it works.
Hey Paul-
I don't know if you're a fan of the Chumby (http://www.chumby.com/ ), but they recently added a pandora stream to their built in streaming media sources. I don't know how well it works as it requires you to be in the US when you use it, but it seems like an excellent addition to my favorite alarm clock that runs linux.

Have you considered relocating to the Bay Area and helping Pandora? They have a good concept, but it needs some refinement, more objectivity, and less subjectivity. maybe you can convince them to go with SunTM hardware. I've already mentioned it in a few emails, but I, personally, am busy on other projects. You'll also be closer to Sun Microsystems HQ. :)
