Google Glass owners now have access to Pandora Internet Radio via their wearable device. Users get access to their existing stations or they can create a new station using voice commands. However, several other controls still require the use of the touchpad, including play/pause controls, favoriting tracks and dismissing tracks.

The Glass version of Pandora was spawned by a Hack-a-thon earlier this year. The hack ended up working well enough that Pandora decided to share it with Google so it could be made available to Glass owners.

If you have Google Glass, just head over to the Glassware page or use the MyGlass app to find Pandora. Turn the app on, sign in and grant the requested permissions, and it will be added to your device.
