iTunes Radio? Pandora And Slacker Are Not Impressed

mykala itunes radioApple unveiled its long-rumored iRadio, er, iTunes Radio service this morning at the Worldwide Developers Conference. Now that we know the basics of the streaming music service (which is supposed to launch this fall), one of the obvious questions is: What does this mean for existing Internet radio/online music services like Pandora and Spotify?Well, I emailed Pandora, Rdio, Slacker, and Spotify to see what they thought. Spotify declined to comment, and Rdio says it's still working on something (I'll update this post when I get it), but the other services all sent me brief statements. There are no huge surprises, and yes, the dreaded "validate" word gets trotted out once. Even so, there's some entertaining talk about why they're not feeling too threatened by the news.
