Here’s a little mini-Pocketnow Insider for you: next week, I had a TLDR piece scheduled entitled “Hey Microsoft: Where’s Pandora for Windows Phone?” The company must’ve sensed my intentions (or, you know, grown tired of hearing the shouted demands of millions of its vocal customers) because today, it took the wraps off Pandora for Windows Phone 8.
