Pandora is dumping Flash for HTML 5
The HTML 5 version of Pandora includes a redesigned user interface, more robust search options, quick access to playback controls, one-click access to details about the current track, social interaction features, and more.
Pandora’s move away from Flash is likely a disappointment to Adobe since the company continues to push the multimedia format as a critical component in viewing and listening to content on the Internet. The move away from Adobe’s technology, however, is slowly gaining momentum.
Pandora will be transitioning users to the HTML 5 version of its service in phases starting today.
