Me too, I’m experiencing the same issue… cannot find Pandora Radio in the Market.

This application has been a longtime coming, and I'm glad it is finally here. I haven't used the pandora client on iPhone, but I can't imagine this is much different. I logged into my account and got streaming right away. The sound quality is a little bit better than I expected, and I didn't notice any lag or major issues with it. Sometimes it takes a minute to connect to a station, but once it is going it doesn't slow down. I can't really think of any missing features.

I was having the same issue on my rooted G1 because of the developer status. Thanks for the link but came up with unsuccessful installation.

Thanks for clarifying that, Dan. Is there any way to tell in the Android Market which apps are copy protected?

This is why marketplacesd and app stores are bad ideas. Didn’t we used to bitch and moan about pay me now AKA Get it Now?? Isn’t THAT the same as an app store?

Pandora has marked their app as “copy protected” in the Android Market. One effect of this is that the app will not be visible to phones that are not recognized as running a final shipping build. (Developer phones are likewise not considered shipping builds and don’t see copy protected apps, so my fellow commentors are essentially right.) Since your Hero is not available in the US, it more or less by definition isn’t shipping, and so most likely HTC has not provided us with the info we need to make copy protected apps visible. Once the Hero is finalized and shipping, copy protected apps will most likely appear.

As for why it didn’t appear on the web site, only Pandora can answer that.

Thanks, I already found it outside the Android Market and it works fine. I appreciate your checking in here with that info. Pandora rocks!

Usually those annoying messages can be avoided by setting the browser not to identify itself as a mobile device. That’s under Settings > Mobile view.

Just search radio then scroll down. It should pull up as one of the top 15 app.

Sorry about the confusion. Some developer or unlocked phones will not be able to see the app in the Android market. Here’s a direct link to download the app.
