Slacker radio now available for Blackberry Storm

Need some music to weather the storm? Good news…Slacker radio is now available for the Blackberry Storm.  The application can be used in either horizontal or vertical modes, whichever suits your fancy.  I have Slacker on my iPhone and use it daily.  It’s kind of like Pandora except better in the sense that I seem to hear a little more music from obscure bands.  That’s a big plug if you’re tired of hearing the same “top 40″ hits on the radio 5 times a day.  One exclusive feature that Blackberry users get is a “Slacker station caching feature” allowing them to save radio stations to the memory card.  This in turn saves battery live greatly because instead of streaming the music, it is pulling it from the memory card.  (Awesome!)  Whip out your Storm and head on over to www.Slacker.com on your Storm’s browser and download the free Slacker Radio app today!

Slacker Radio Invades Blackberry!

Did you get excited at CITA when Slacker Radio was first announced, only to be left wanting more as the company has remained quiet on its Radio program?  Well the cat is out of the bag!  Slacker Radio for Blackberry was formally release at CES offering 100 radio stations classified by genre and over 10,000 artist stations!  Another cool feature is that users can create custom stations of their own liking.  One way to improve battery life with the application is store your playlists/station to the media card, thereby doing away with streaming and the battery meter dropping faster than a rock!  On top of the cool features listed above, the design is very clean and modern.  A++ guys!  The requirements:

• Must live in U.S. (easy to get around for now, just enter a U.S. zip)
• Must have OS 4.3 or higher
• Doesn’t work on Storm yet…but it is coming.
