#CES2011 — Slacker Unveils Free, Basic Service In Canada.

Popular music streaming service, Slacker Radio, announced a free, basic service tier for Canadian users. From here on out, Canadian users don’t have to worry about 30-day trials any longer, as they can enjoy Slacker Radio 24/7. If you’re really into music however, the Slacker Radio “Plus” tier costs only $3.99/month and offers such things as unlimited song skipping, complete removal of ads, and song caching for mobile devices.

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!
