Slowly but surely, Windows Phone 8 is starting to build out its app ecosystem to include some of the heavy hitters in the mobile scene. Just last month, Windows Phone 8 users got Spotify<\/a>, and now Internet radio fans can enjoy Pandora from the comfort of a Windows Phone. <\/a><\/p>\n

So what sets Pandora on Windows Phone 8 apart from the same app on iOS or Android? For one, Pandora for Windows Phone is integrated into live tiles to provide a quick look at what’s currently playing right from the home screen. Users can also pin individual radio stations to the home screen for easy access to specific stations. <\/p>\n

Another Windows Phone exclusive feature is integration with Kid’s Corner. Pandora will automatically filter explicit song content when its switched over to the kid friendly portion of the OS.<\/p>\n

To give the Windows Phone app a leg up on the competition, Microsoft will be providing Pandora ad-free throughout the rest of the year. It’s definitely a major advantage over the other versions, but it’s hard to see how a free year of Pandora will convince people to switch to Windows Phone. <\/p>\n
