Pandora launches redesigned iPad app, hopes you'll ignore that other big radio service

There’s no doubt that Pandora is feeling the heat from iTunes Radio. The company isn’t letting its competitor’s launch go unanswered, however. It just unveiled a redesigned Pandora 5.0 app for iOS that gives iPad users several features that were previously iPhone-only, including deeper artist exploration, social music sharing and an option for more variety in stations. The release also makes better use of the big screen through a panel that helps listeners find related music without skipping a beat. Android tablets will get these perks later in the fall, Pandora says. The firm may still have a tough time luring iPad owners away from Apple’s streaming service, but the new Pandora app is free to use — it won’t hurt to tune in.

Google invites iOS users to experience data compression with Chrome

Like it or not, thinking about every megabyte is essential for smartphone owners hoping to keep their monthly usage from topping whatever tier they’ve purchased. The nasty, unbecoming world of data caps isn’t changing in the near-term, and Google knows it. Following in the footsteps of Opera, the outfit’s Chrome browser for iOS is evidently equipped with a data compression feature that’s engineered to save precious bytes when browsing via mobile. This technology has existed for some time, but it’s just now being rolled out en masse to those with an iPhone. We’re told that it “compresses and minimizes HTML, JavaScript and CSS resources, removing unnecessary whitespace, comments and other metadata not essential to rendering the pages,” which can reduce data usage by up to 50 percent on certain sites. So, Apple — thinking about tossing something similar under the hood of Mobile Safari?
