Developer’s description: Slacker allows music lovers to play personalized music on the go with the Slacker Mobile application for iPhone, BlackBerry, and soon Android and Windows Mobile. Slacker.com worked with all major music labels and thousands of indie labels to license their content legally, giving music lovers free access to millions of songs, over 100 pre-programmed genre stations (programmed by real expert music DJ’s), thousands of artist stations, or their own custom-created stations. The Slacker Mobile application allows listeners to search for and listen to their favorite artists, while discovering and learning about new artists. Music lovers can create their own “perfect” station based on any number of bands or artists they like. While listening to Slacker on mobile devices, users can view album art and read full band bios, album reviews, and song lyrics. Users can also rate songs (“heart” or “ban”) to further customize their listening experience. Slacker is the only mobile music offering that allows listeners to cache stations, for playback whether they’re connected to a network or not.

Pros: Company switched from selling a hardware device to streaming phone music.

Cons: App is large.

    Looks great, hope it works in Canada. Slacker via the web is not allowed in Canada yet. Would love to have access to this.

How it works:

Mobile phone apps from any platform can enter. Our experts narrow the field to a Top 20 and then Top 10. We conduct an online vote to determine a 'people's' winner. All 20 semifinalists are invited to demonstrate their apps at the Mobile Apps Showdown stage in the North Hall during CES. The Top 10 appear before a live voting audience at CES to determine an event winner.

When: Saturday, 12:30 p.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
