At the 2009 AlwaysOn OnMedia conference yesterday, Pandora founder Tim Westergren spoke about software development on mobile platforms and indicated that betting on a single "hero" platform could be the way to go. That platform for Westergren is webOS and the phone is the Palm Pre.

“As a company we’re always thinking what’s the next iPhone? And that’s where we’re gonna put our resources. So we’ve come out and said, we’re gonna put a bet on Palm Pre,” said Westergren.

Pandora’s team has been testing and developing on the device and thinks it has mass market appeal.
