My wife got me a Blu-Ray player for Christmas, and while I love the fact that it plays movies better than any DVD or VHS player I've ever owned, what really makes it special is the fact that it hooks up to Pandora America's favorite internet radio providerand plays it through the surround sound on my TV.
But Pandora isn't just for televisions and the internet. It's also an increasingly popular app for smartphones like Androids and iPhones, and more and more we're seeing it pop up in the place where it probably most belongs automobiles.Chicago used cardealers are reporting that their new models will include possibilities for synching up Pandora to Toyota's "Entune" multimedia system.
Let's face it, if people are listening to the radio, they're likely doing it in the car, so finding a way to integrate Pandora into preexisting auto audio systems is the way to go. All it takes to make it work is any cell phone with a data plan, then Entune taps into the internet connection and rains down music from auditory heaven.
ForChicago Toyotacustomers unfamiliar with Pandora, it's the best of personalized radio. You pick an artist you love, and the website then matches up that artist with several similar artists and spits back a perfect mix of that exact genre of music. And it's not just going to give you generic rock and roll if you type in "Aerosmith" for an artist; it'll only give you music that sounds very, very similar to Aerosmith. It's actually pretty amazing how they do ita sort of technological voodoo that only the creators understand. But I'm not here to question it. I'm just here to be grateful.
Slowly but surely, Pandora is becoming ubiquitous. It started with my new Blu-Ray player and ends up in the front seat of whatever Toyota vehicle I end up buying next. The bottom line is that radio is about to change in the car, and you won't have to pay an extra dime to make it happen. All you'll need is a smartphone and a Toyota. Pandora will take care of the rest.
