Pandora ditches Flash, opens up the HTML5 box for redesign

Seems like Adobe has lost yet one more ally to the silky smooth allure of HTML5 . Internet radio service Pandora has traded within the once ubiquitous Flash for the increasingly adopted web standard, citing, among other things, the facility to lop precious seconds off the site’s load time. The upgrade is a part of a big redesign for the service, said to were inspired by the company’s own iPad app. The old features are largely intact, but many, like Twitter and Facebook integration, was revamped. The update might be rolled out to Pandora One subscribers soon, in something of a limited testing mode, with other users following later. People with browsers that are not fully HTML5-friendly will still have the ability to access Flash features as backup.
