No, that’s not  a typo. According to Pandora founder Tim Westergren, the company is currently activating 100,000 new users every day on mobile devices. Music Ally reports that Westergren made the comments at a press launch for Samsung’s new TVs. The television maker will be spending $70 million on its next-generation TVs, so Pandora will undoubtedly have a hand in those. But 1 million new users every ten days? That’s amazing, considering that the company was struggling with bankruptcy as recently as last year. Considering that there are so many streaming music sites out there, it looks like Pandora is the iPod to everyone else’s Zune, to mix a metaphor or two.
