Apple Working on a Radio Service to Rival Pandora?

The WSJ reported that Apple may be working on a new custom radio service to rival Pandora. According to the site, Apple only recently initiated discussions with record labels over the idea but if it is successful in negotiations, we could see a service launching in just a couple of months which would make sense since Nokia recently launched a free music streaming themselves for owners of its Lumia line of smartphones.

Apple’s service would work on its sprawling hardware family, including the iPhone, iPads and Mac computers, and possibly on PCs running Microsoft Corp.’s Windows operating system, according to one of these people. It would not work on smartphones and tablets running Google Inc.’s Android operating system, this person added, highlighting the mounting battle for mobile dominance between the two technology giants.
